Now that the transfer window is officially open, things are starting to heat up. A number of moves have already been completed as negotiations continue over signings across the world.
For Arsenal, there are a number of high-profile players linked with a switch to the Emirates as Mikel Arteta looks to improve his squad. The Spaniard’s transfers worked out well last summer and he'll be looking for similar success this time around too, especially after completing his first transfer of the window in Brazilian teenager Marquinhos on Monday.
Although the Gunners narrowly missed out on a top four finish and Champions League qualification, Arteta will be hopeful that his side can go one step further next campaign as a result of better squad depth. With that said, here’s a look at the latest rumours linking players to the club.
