Arsenal travel to Liverpool tomorrow as they look to continue their strong start to the 2020/21 season.
The focus for Mikel Arteta and his squad is firmly on the battle with the reigning Premier League champions but the Gunners' boss and the board will still have one eye on the transfer market.
Arsenal continue to be linked with an array of players as the window edges closer to slamming shut on October 5.
In light of this, here is the latest rumours round-up on the Gunners.
Aouar price issue
Arsenal are planning to increase their bid for Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar.
Football.london understands that the Gunners will increase their offer for the playmaker to £36.5 million, with £9 million on top of that in potential add-ons.
However, RMC Sport say that Lyon's demand is a £46 million deal after rejecting a previous offer from the Gunners of £32.8 million.
Torreira latest
Torino are set to pull out of the race for Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira.
The Gunners are eager to offload the playmaker to increase transfer funds in their bid to sign the likes of the aforementioned Aouar and Thomas Partey.
Torino sporting director Davide Vagnati has spoken to about how his club cannot afford Torreira.
Atletico Madrid remain interested in a loan move for the 24-year-old but Arsenal would rather sell the Uruguay international.
Balogun transfer twist
Sheffield United have shown interest in signing the likes of Arsenal's Folarin Balogun and Liverpool's Rhian Brewster but appear to have switched their attention.
The Gunners had been in talks with the Blades about loaning out Balogun but those discussions have stalled.
Now MailOnline say that Chris Wilder's men are chasing former Liverpool striker turned free agent Daniel Sturridge, with the forward having left Trabzonspor in March.
