Catch all the latest Arsenal news and rumours, including updates on Viktor Gyokeres, Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard.
Arsenal want their transfer business all but completed before they depart for their pre-season tour of Asia, where they will face the likes of AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur.
Mikel Arteta is desperate for more attacking options, whilst trimming the squad in order to balance the books and keep the harmony within the group.
It means that Andrea Berta is now in a race against the clock to complete a number of deals and the wheels are in motion in multiple negotiations.
So with that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours.
Arsenal agree deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres
According to journalist David Ornstein, Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres for an initial €63.5m with €10m in add-ons.
Henry Winter also claims that the Gunners are also hoping to complete the signings of Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera this week.
Berta is also accelerating plans to offload a number of stars and has five first-team players on his list including Reiss Nelson and Fabio Vieira.

Bayern Munich interested in signing Leandro Trossard
According to journalist Christian Falk, Bayern Munich are now interested in signing Leandro Trossard from Arsenal.
The German champions are finding challenges in securing a deal for Liverpool winger Luis Diaz and could turn their attentions to the Belgian international.
Vincent Kompany is a former teammate of Trossard and after holding interest in Gabriel Martinelli earlier in the window, he could now pursue a move for his teammate.
Trossard has recently changed his management agency and is now represented by the German Dirk Hebel. He is still in contract negotiations with Arsenal.

Jakub Kiwior no longer in Mikel Arteta’s plans at Arsenal
According to journalist Nicolo Schira, Polish defender Jakub Kiwior could depart the club this summer after it has become clear he is no longer ‘central’ to Arteta’s plans.
The 25-year-old had an excellent end to the season in replacing the injured Gabriel Magalhaes but could now be sold to raise funds for further incomings.
With the Gunners also interested in Mosquera, it would appear that Kiwior could be a player sacrificed for the young Spanish defender to join.
Arsenal fans are not happy with the decision as they believe the Polish international can still play a vital role for the side next season.
