Mikel Arteta confirms Arsenal want further summer signings

Mikel Arteta has confirmed Arsenal remain in the market for further signings in the summer transfer window.

The club have spent north of £100million on Fabio Vieira, Marquinhos, Matt Turner and Manchester City pair Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Arsenal have been linked with the likes of Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans and Lucas Paqueta of Lyon, both of whom are expected to command sizeable transfer fees.

There remains over a month of the transfer window still to run, and should Arteta get his way then another new face - or faces - will come to the Emirates.

“We are still hoping to do something else if the market allows,” he told reporters earlier today. “You have seen some movement in the last few days as well.

“We want to get the perfect balance and the plan we wanted from the beginning. Whether we accomplish that or not is another story.”
