Arsenal transfer rumours: Thomas Partey boost, Philippe Coutinho plan, Houssem Aouar update

Arsenal have made some positive moves in the summer transfer window to date but are eager to add more players before the deadline expires on October 5.

The Gunners finished eighth in the Premier League last season but won the FA Cup, achievements that are not anywhere near enough for a club with so much stature.

However, Mikel Arteta is building a new culture at Arsenal and is slowly improving his squad in the summer transfer window, which is leading to plenty of speculation.

In light of this, here is the latest transfer rumours round-up on Arsenal.

Partey and Torreira transfer latest

Arsenal may have received a Thomas Partey boost after Atletico Madrid reportedly agreed to terms with Lucas Torreira.

Atletico want to sign the Arsenal midfielder in preparation for Partey leaving before the summer transfer window deadline on October 5.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims that Torreira. has agreed to leave for the Spanish side, with Mundo Deportivo also reporting that Atletico are fighting hard to acquire his signature.

Arsenal still want to sign Partey but Atletico are eager to receive a £45 million transfer fee for his services.

Coutinho transfer plan

Arsenal are plotting a late bid for Philippe Coutinho in the summer transfer window, according to Sport.

The Gunners reportedly don't want to give up on the Barcelona midfielder, who was on loan at Bayern Munich last season.

The Germans declined to take the playmaker on a permanent basis.

Aouar transfer update

Arsenal are also chasing a deal for Houssem Aouar of Lyon but there appears to have been a twist in this transfer tale.

The Athletic, per reports, claim that Arsenal are more likely to land Partey than Aouar, with competition for the latter heating up.

Reports suggest that the Gunners have made Partey and Aouar their main transfer targets for the rest of the summer window but only plan to sign one of the midfielders.
