It has already been a busy summer transfer window for Arsenal, with the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes taking their spending north of £100 million. Attention has now turned towards departures, but they are not done on the incoming front either.
Guimaraes has joined Piero Hincapie, Illan Meslier and Christos Tzolis in completing a permanent move to the Emirates Stadium. There have also been several exits, headlined by Leandro Trossard's exit for Besiktas.
Mikel Arteta's team will face Como on Wednesday and then take on Manchester City in the Community Shield. The Premier League opener isn't too far away either, with Coventry City the Gunners' first opponents.
A multi-millon pound exit and the arrival of a future star are our topics of focus today. Here are our latest lines from North London.
Jesus exit could be drawing closer
Gabriel Jesus could be amongst those departing Arsenal this summer as the Gunners refresh in attack. The Brazilian striker has attracted interest from Napoli, who are close to ticking off one of the tasks they need to complete before swooping for the Brazilian.
According to Sky Italy, Fenerbahce have struck an agreement with the Serie A club for Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian striker is poised to move to Turkey for an initial £5.12m, though add-ons could take the final fee higher.

Those funds could be directed towards a deal for Jesus, while the exit of Lukaku would increase the need for a new goalscorer. Napoli are said to require one further sale before shifting their focus to Jesus, who Arsenal value at around £20m.
Teenage striker Bernard arrives
Mylo Bernard has signed for Arsenal after progressing through the youth ranks at Crystal Palace, according to The Athletic. The Gunners will just need to pay Palace training compensation for the 16 year old, whoseschoolboy registration at Selhurst Park expired earlier this summer.

Bernard, a striker, has netted four goals in eight appearances for England's Under-16 side and has also banged in the goals in the Under-18 Premier League. He found the net six times in 13 appearances, a number of those from the bench, and was involved in a 2-2 draw against Arsenal back in May.
The teenager becomes the second talented youngster to make the switch in the summer transfer window. Elijah Upson, whose father Matt played for Arsenal under Arsene Wenger, made the move in July after leaving Tottenham.
