A Sky Sports reporter revealed exciting news regarding who Arsenal and their summer window. They are targeting a few players in the remainder of the transfer window.
The Gunners have already had a busy summer, having recruited Kai Havertz for £65million from Chelsea. They also signed Jurrien Timber in a deal that could rise to £38.5million, and purchased Declan Rice for a club-record £105million.
Indeed, the latter transfer is just shy of the British record. That is with Chelsea having paid Benfica £106.8million for midfielder Enzo Fernandez in January.
They having spent more than £200million so far this window. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta claimed the club could still do more business regardless of their signings so far.
Arsenal have been linked with several other targets including Southampton teenager Romeo Lavia and Bayer Leverkusen attacker Moussa Diaby. Arteta suggested there could be further incomings this window.
Arsenal are making this summer window their own
Sky Sports News reporter Dharmesh Sheth claimed that Arsenal were still interested in signing an attacker this window. This is by citing both Diaby and Barcelona winger Raphinha as potential targets.
Sheth said:
“I’ve just been told to keep an eye on the attacking side of the pitch, particularly on the right side as well.
“Remember a couple of summers ago they tried to sign Raphinha (last summer) – he ended up going to Barcelona.
“I know Aston Villa have had a bid rejected for him as well, so that may be an area just to keep an eye on.
“It would require now a few departures and money to be recouped because after Havertz, Rice and Timber they’ve gone through £200million in this transfer window.”
“Let’s see. There is a lot of time still in the market and expectations with some of our players, so we will have to see how things develop in the next couple of weeks,” Arteta told Sky Sports News
