Arsenal have enjoyed a busy summer so far, making six new signings, and Mikel Arteta is keen to continue strengthening his squad ahead of the new Premier League season
Arsenal have spent almost £200million on new signings so far this summer, bringing in Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
However, manager Mikel Arteta is hoping to make some more signings before the window slams shut. He is also looking to offload some fringe players, having already sold Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos and released Jorginho, Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
The Gunners have finished second for the past three Premier League season and will be hoping to win the title this year for the first time since 2004. Here, Mirror Football takes a look at the latest transfer news and rumours from around the Emirates...
Juventus eye Kiwior
According to a report from Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are interested in signing Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior.
The report states that Lloyd Kelly, who completed a permanent move to Juventus this summer after initially joining them on loan in the January transfer window, could be set for a return to the Premier League.
As a result, Juventus are said to have begun looking at potential replacements for Kelly and Kiwior is among them. However, the report also notes that Wolfsburg's Konstantinos Koulierakis is also on their radar.
Eze warning
Eberechi Eze has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal this summer, but former Gunners defender Mikael Silvestre believes he should remain at Crystal Palace.
Speaking to Hajper, Silvestre said: "Eberechi Eze to Arsenal? I don't think it'd be good for him, to be honest, because there is a lot of competition and because he has so much joy and freedom at Crystal Palace.
"Going to Arsenal would, I think, be difficult because of the competition for places. But I like him a lot. Since his early days, he has been terrific. It’s a shame he's had quite a lot of muscle injuries and he's missed some parts of the season. But whenever he's fit and ready, he is a top player."
Gyokeres doubts
Arsenal forked out around £63.7m to sign a new striker in Viktor Gyokeres this summer, but Premier League icon Paul Scholes has questioned whether Mikel Arteta "really wanted him".
Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet, Scholes said: "[Arsenal needed a] centre forward, I just wonder if you've chosen the right one. Because there was a lot of um-ing and ah-ing about it, I wondered if Mikel Arteta really wanted him, as the main one he wants? I'm not too sure, and he's got him now."

These former United players don't want to see Arsenal prosper including Heinze. Our defence will be porous this season while Heinze smiles privately

congratulations to you all Arsenal Fan's thanks for your inputs and comments all your are valid and important.my point of observation in this matter is that our manager was not interested in signing Viktor Gyokeres but the sporting director need him that was the first thing.mikel Arteta and the sporting director made another mistake by letting Thomas partey to leave for Christian Norgaad who has no idea on Arsenal's system of play.To clear point#1 I guess most of us watched our pasted game against Villarreal what Arteta did in the midfield because he chooses to start Viktor Gyokeres he decided not to use the correct midfielders just to degrade the quality of the stricker which is a very bad one for me he would have allowed the playmakers to play with the stricker to see his performance.
you have a point there but I believe he will adjust that when the league start because he dear not leave arsenal NO.14 ON the BENCH THAT NO.ALONE SENIOR HIM and HAS VALUE OVER HIM

You guys not sick of Artetta yet? You don't think the main problem with Arsenal is the manager? Emery was better than him and yet they have pumped £100s of millions into the Mikel project. For what? You have to earn greatness as a manager not given the keys to the Arsenal kingdom because you used to sit next to Pep.
you have mental illness, Emery was better in which aspect!!!? why are people so dumb!!!?.

Arsenal will surprise alot of people who are illiterates in football or even sports philosophy, a winning team showcases sluggishness in some worthless moments usually. but Arsenal will bully Europe come next season.
