The summer window’s transfer deadline is slowly looming in, but there’s still plenty of work to be done at Arsenal.
Indeed, an underwhelming start to the 2016/17 Premier League campaign – losing 4-3 to Liverpool before enduring a scoreless draw with Leicester City – has only amplified calls for Arsene Wenger to break the bank before the summer window closes.

An inexperienced pairing of Rob Holding and Calum Chambers were hit for four on the Premier League’s opening weekend amid an injury crisis, whilst the need for a successor to the ageing Per Mertesacker has been evident for some time.
