Arsenal are gearing up for Sunday’s Community Shield, with Mikel Arteta targeting a surprise move for Brentford keeper David Raya as he deals with Gabriel Jesus’ latest injury
The transfer window has just a month left to run and the stage is set for a hectic few weeks for Arsenal.
The Gunners have already had a busy summer having spent near-£200m on the signings of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber. But there could well be more new arrivals at the Emirates Stadium before the window closes.
Boss Mikel Arteta is hoping to pull off a surprise move for Brentford goalkeeper David Raya. An agreement has been reached over a switch to the Emirates Stadium, though the Bees star has been warned against joining the Gunners.
Arsenal are also focusing on moving players out of the exit door, with Arteta keen to cut down the size of his squad. Folarin Balogun continues to be linked with a departure, while former record signing Nicolas Pepe could see his contract terminated.
