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.

Arsenal appear to have expanded their search for a new winger. Noni Madueke has recently emerged as a potential target for the Gunners as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attacking options this summer.
