Arsenal's transfer business is moving along swiftly as Mikel Arteta looks to build a squad capable of winning the Premier League and capable of challenging for the Champions League. The Spaniard saw his project kick into overdrive in the past year as they moved from top-four outsiders to title challengers.
While they set an electric pace to begin with, an eventual drop-off meant they had to settle for second, but there was clear evidence for the current plan working. It has seen the head coach backed immensely in the transfer window this summer, with some huge deals completed.
Kai Havertz has already made the switch to Arsenal from London rivals Chelsea for a £65million fee, with Arteta hinting at a position in the midfield for the 24-year-old. Beyond the German international, there's a move for Declan Rice as an agreement in principle worth £105million has been made, as football.london understands the club-record offer was tabled on Tuesday.
