Arsenal prepare £42m bid for midfielder as Mikel Arteta cools interest in Lisandro Martinez

Arsenal have already been one of the busiest clubs in the transfer window so far. The Gunners spent upwards of £150million last summer and look set to repeat that feat again this year.

Four players have already made the switch to north London in deals that add up to roughly £80million. It seems as though Mikel Arteta is showing little sign of slowing up, though.

A desire to improve squad depth and quality as well as moving others on will likely see plenty more activity out of the Emirates Stadium. With that said, football.london takes a look at the latest Arsenal transfer rumours.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic offer

Arsenal are preparing a bid of €50million (£42million) to land Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to TuttoJuve. The 27-year-old has been linked with a move to the Emirates as Arteta looks to bolster his midfield options.

The Serbia international made 37 Serie A appearances last season, scoring 11 and assisting 11 under Maurizio Sarri.

Lisandro Martinez interest cooled

Arsenal have cooled their interest in Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez this summer, reports GOAL. The Argentina international was the subject of talks, though the Gunners have been unable to agree a fee.

That could leave Manchester United with a free run at landing the 24-year-old in a potential reunion with Erik ten Hag.

Alexander Isak battle

Newcastle are eyeing a move for Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak, according to the Telegraph. The Sweden international has been of interest to Arsenal, though it remains to be seen if a move will be made after the signing of Gabriel Jesus.
