R odrygo's Real Madrid future continues to be a huge talking point amid talk of a big-money summer transfer to Arsenal. The Gunners are looking to upgrade their options in the final third and the Brazilian would certainly be a statement signing on the left-wing if Andrea Berta is able to strike an agreement for his services.

With Arsenal on their way to fulfilling some of their less glamorous transfer requirements, the obvious piece of outstanding business is the recruitment of a new No 9. Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres remain the focus of Arsenal’s attention. Other names, such as Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, remain under discussion.
