Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta confirmed the club remains in the market for further squad work after a busy summer of arrivals. The Gunners have added Viktor Gy\u00f6keres as the marquee signing, while Martin Zubimendi was the most expensive of the incomings. Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Christian N\u00f8rgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga also joined, with the collective outlay reported at \u00a3192.6 million ($259 million). Only once before have Arsenal spent more in a single summer window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those additions have not closed the door on further activity. Following a 3\u20130 stroll against Athletic Club in Arsenal\u2019s final friendly of pre-season, Arteta was asked about the possibility of more business and gave a measured response. \u201cLet\u2019s see what happens in terms of where the squad is in the next few weeks, but we are actively looking at options,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThere are a few players that have to leave as well, so we\u2019ll be open to see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Arsenal have been most keenly linked with Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze. It has been reported the club missed the window of opportunity to trigger a release clause in his contract, which was thought to stand at around \u00a367.5 million, though interest in the England international supposedly remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been unable to offer any reassurances when it comes to Eze\u2019s future. That uncertainty leaves the situation open, particularly given reported advances from Tottenham Hotspur for the same player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With significant investment already made and clear signals from the manager that both incomings and outgoings are possible, Arsenal\u2019s squad picture may yet change in the coming weeks as the club assesses balance, depth and options before the season settles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
