Mikel Arteta 'confirms' next three Arsenal transfers as final Eberechi Eze decision imminent

Andrea Berta and Mikel Arteta still have plenty on their agenda in the summer transfer window even with Arsenal spending over £200million on six new signings.

The Gunners' squad has been strengthened in every position with Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke the attacking reinforcements. Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard have been brought in as the club's new midfielders while Kepa Arrizabalaga has arrived as back-up goalkeeper and Cristhian Mosquera has added depth at centre-back.

In the opposite direction, no senior exits have been announced yet but that is seemingly not stopping Arsenal from targeting more additions. Before the summer window ends however, there is a need to sanction some departures with Arteta admitting as such over the weekend.

As the Premier League season starts in less than one week, getting those deals done soon will be important. Two top-flight teams are in competitive action today though, with Liverpool facing Crystal Palace in the Community Shield and it is very likely all of an Arsenal persuasion will have a close eye on Eberechi Eze.

With all of that being, football.london has provided a fresh perspective on the latest Arsenal transfer topics and rumours.

Arteta 'confirms' next three transfers

Following the 3-0 pre-season friendly victory over Athletic Club, Arteta was very honest when asked about the summer transfer window.

"Let's see what happens in terms of where the squad is at in the next few weeks," he said. "We are actively looking at options, there are a few players that may have to leave also."

Reiss Nelson, Leandro Trossard, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Fabio Vieira are all potential candidates that could leave with a versatile attacking addition then likely to be actively pursued.

football.london says: If all goes to plan for Arsenal, it certainly seems as though Arteta has confirmed what could be the club's next three transfers.

Nelson will almost certainly be one of those with his temporary switch to Fulham still at an advanced stage and expected to go through. Meanwhile, £20million is wanted to sell both Trossard and Vieira with interest in both present.

Obtaining a decent amount of funds will allow Arsenal to spend again with Ademola Lookman, Eze and Rodrygo all under consideration.

Eze decision imminent

Arsenal face a decisive week in their pursuit of Eze with it seemingly very likely a final call is made. Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner has already confirmed he will feature against Liverpool with his last Wembley appearance going very well.

Another bright performance from the England international could make Arsenal enquire about signing him and if that is their decision, it must be acted on imminently with their new campaign underway and thus the Eagles' asking price likely to only be going one way.

football.london says: The calls for another marquee signing in attack decreased significantly on Saturday with Gabriel Martinelli grabbing a goal contribution and Noni Madueke looking bright.

Eze shining on the big stage again will almost certainly change that however, with no player in the Arsenal squad quite like him. The finances involved makes it guaranteed that a sale is needed to offset his potential arrival, but Palace will be tough negotiators if they even entertain his departure.

In comparison to July, this month looks set to be a quiet one but if an opportunity arises for Andrea Berta, it will certainly be explored.
