The summer transfer window has officially been open for just over a week now and Arsenal's best-case scenario, when it's all said and done on September 1, has already been outlined.
Whilst a verbal agreement is in place with William Saliba with regard to signing a new contract, it remains to be seen if Gunners manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu Gaspar can successfully work together to get more deals over the line in the next couple of months.
Should deadline day pass with Declan Rice signed up, in addition to other areas across the first-team squad being bolstered significantly, then the club will be in a very good position to challenge champions Manchester City for the Premier League trophy once again next season.
