Mikel Arteta looks to complete Arsene Wenger's failed transfer mission with £65m Arsenal signing

It's set to be a busy summer for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta looks to follow up last year's spending spree by strengthening his squad with top-quality additions.

The Spaniard made it very clear that it was time to take things to another level following a period of reducing the wage bill and building a young team filled with potential.

So far, it seems he certainly wasn't lying, judging by the business done so far and the intensifying links to other targets. The Gunners managed to fend off reported interest from the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham to land Fabio Vieira from FC Porto for £34m. He is set to be joined by the £7.5m arrival of goalkeeper Matt Turner in the coming days.
