We're well into the transfer market and Arsenal have already been busy. Marquinhos, Matt Turner, Fabio Vieira and Gabriel Jesus have all arrived in North London, but Edu's work is by no means over.
Speaking after the Gunners' 5-3 victory over FC Nurnberg in their first pre-season game of the season, Mikel Arteta admitted the club were still hopeful of getting more deals over the line this summer. "There are more things that we would like to do if we can, but obviously the market will dictate what we can do," the Spaniard said.
And now it appears that one of the players that they could still be targeting is Youri Tielemans after he put his house up for sale in Leicester. football.london understands that Arsenal are interested in signing the Belgian this summer, but it was only after extraordinary research from supporters on social media that it became apparent he was looking to move place.

It's yet another sign of the dedication from Arsenal fans who have previously gone as far as to analyse cloud patterns in order to work out if the transfer of Gabriel Magalhaes was imminent in 2020. football.london's Arsenal Writer Kaya Kaynak was asked about the news on our 'Press Box' show and admitted that while this does not necessarily mean Tielemans is on his way to the Emirates Stadium, there is a possibility that Arsenal could be looking to wrap up the deal soon.
"It looks positive doesn't it," he said. "He might just be moving to a bigger house in Leicester. You can't read too much into it. But fair play to the Arsenal private investigators on Twitter. I mean how would you even think to zoom in on the fridge and see what the kids' names are?!
"Arsenal are targeting Tielemans, we know that. Mikel Arteta has said that he wants to get more deals over the line before the end of the window and I think Tielemans is a player he does want to get over the line before the end of the window, so he's a player to keep an eye on.
"If he's able to come out on the US tour fantastic, but you have to bare in mind it's not that long until the season gets started. There's only about three weeks until the Premier League gets up and running again, so if Arsenal want to get that deal done, they're going to have to move relatively quickly if they want him before things get started.
"All we know is that Arsenal are interested and want to get more deals done this summer. So that's definitely one to keep an eye on as things progress."
