Raphinha has already shown what he will bring to Arsenal as Edu nears £65m transfer deal

The summer transfer window has only been open for a fortnight but already Arsenal have been linked with a huge number of incomings and outgoings ahead of their push for Champions League football under Mikel Arteta next season.

The Gunners made a massive transfer outlay of around £150million last summer and brought in six first-team players including Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White and Martin Odegaard. The new additions had a good season settling into life at the Emirates Stadium but the squad ultimately fell short of a top-four spot, something Arteta and Edu are desperate to make sure doesn’t happen again next year.

To that end, funds are being made available to spend on players once again this summer, with the club needing to improve their squad depth in order to sustain high levels of performance through to the business end of the season.
