Arsenal are looking to strengthen their squad further before the new Premier League season begins. Mikel Arteta has made three signings so far with Piero Hincapie and Illan Meslier joining earlier this summer.
Christos Tzolis became the most recent acquisition, arriving from Club Brugge in a deal worth £34million. The Gunners aren't showing signs of slowing down as they now explore a deal to sign Vinicius Jr from Real Madrid.
The Yan Diomande saga is also heating up, with Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Real all interested. Arteta could make a shock move to bring Cristian Romeo from Tottenham to address some defensive issues.

Real do not plan to lose the winger on a free transfer next summer with just 12 months remaining on his deal. They are also not happy to pay Vini's loyalty bonus if he sees out the rest of his contract.
It is understood that no contact has been made between the clubs as of yet but the Arsenal hierarchy are happy to pursue the potential transfer.
Yan Diomande talks emerge
Real Madrid are pushing forward in their pursuit of Yan Diomande after having a £85.4m bid rejected by RB Leipzig. However, talkSPORT reports that discussions are progressing rapidly over a move to Spain.

This news comes just days after Arsenal made enquiries to sign the 19-year-old after his impressive debut season in Germany. Diomande's performance for the Ivory Coast at the World Cup also bolstered his valuation but it looks like Real are the ones pushing forward.
It's understood that their first bid was an initial £76.9m plus £8.5m in add-ons. Now, the Spanish giants are set to put in an improved offer and are confident of landing the winger.

Arsenal have joined Chelsea in considering a shock move for Tottenham's Cristian Romero. Reports in Italy claim that both London rivals are interested in the defender, who is available for £42m.
While a move across north London seems unlikely, Arsenal are on the lookout for another defender with William Saliba sidelined due to a back issue. Romero is contracted at Spurs until 2029 but there is an expectation that he will depart the club this summer.
Inter are also keen on the centre-half and have held talks with his agents regarding a deal. The Italian outfit are leaning towards a loan with an obligation to buy.
