Arsenal launched the Premier League campaign with a victory at Manchester United and spent more than £200 million in the summer, but even so, Mikel Arteta wants more for his title hopes
Mikel Arteta still wants to bolster his left-wing options, but he will need to sell before he has more transfer business. Arsenal faces the prospect of not spending any more money on this window unless players start shipping.
Gunner is already linked to Real Madrid’s superstar Rodrigo, but Arteta is a huge fan of Crystal Palace’s Ebekieze, but both will not move to the Emirates unless there is a big final shift. Tottenham is currently in pole position to land AIDS in negotiations as they are trying to seal £5 million with £65 million and £55 million add-ons, but the palace is determined to stand firm and drive a significant deal.
Arsenal now has a bloated team with all new arrivals of over £2 million, which is out of reach of Arsenal, but by balancing the book with sports director Andrea Berta, they have struggled to get players out of the door. Leandro Trossard is most likely to go to this stage as Brentford, Aston Villa and several foreign clubs are now interested in versatile forwards who are even more in-order. First team squad members Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Reiss Nelson were not building the bench at Manchester United on Sunday.

Teenager Max Dowman, 15, played in the match, but Christian Norgaard had a small knock and Gabriel Jesus was removed from the match day team while recovering from a long-term knee injury.
Fenerbafe has expressed interest in Zinchenko, who has only one year left on the contract. Loconga is also garnering interest while Kiwior considers his options after beating the pecking order despite his impressive finish last season.
Arsenal signed Noni Madueke from Chelsea for £52 million, while Gabriel Martinelli began his season at Old Trafford, but they still feel they want to bring more quality. However, interest in Eze did not advance. Because it blocks Ethan Nuwaneri and Douman’s path to getting first team opportunities.
They will need to offload to make more deals in this window, but if another move occurs, the left winger will most likely be.
