Arsenal want attacking reinforcements before end of summer, Fabrizio Romano reveals
Fabrizio Romano has said that Arsenal want attacking reinforcements before the end of the summer. Arteta has been quite busy in the transfer window and has made quite a few changes to his roster.
However, in his column for Caught Offside, Romano said that the north London side are looking to reinforce their attacking ranks in the coming days.
Romano added out that the Gunners have left things a little late after focusing solely on outgoings.
Mikel Arteta has already brought in Gabriel Jesus this summer to bolster his frontline.
Gunners face Everton competition for Arthur Melo
Arsenal could face competition from Everton for the signature of Arthur Melo, according to journalist Nicolo Schira.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with the Brazilian midfielder for some time but have failed to get a deal across the line. Arthur is not part of Massimiliano Allegri’s plans at Juventus and could be allowed to leave.
Arteta could be tempted to dive for the player in the wake of Blues manager Thomas Tuchel’s injury woes. However, Everton are also monitoring the Brazilian and are interested in securing his services on loan this summer.
Mikel Arteta refuses to indulge in talks of title challenge

Arteta also said that his team will have to be on their toes because of the demanding nature of the league.
The Gunners have scored 11 goals in the league so far and conceded just three.
