The summer transfer window closes in 16 days and Arsenal are keen to bring in more reinforcements. The Premier League champions have made just four signings so far, spending a combined £144million.
Illan Meslier joined for free and Piero Hincapie made his loan deal permanent for £34.5m. Christos Tzolis arrived next for £34m before Bruno Guimaraes became the marquee signing with a £75m move from Newcastle.
Vinicius Jr was linked with a blockbuster transfer but that dream was cut short when he agreed to new terms at Real Madrid. Now, Mikel Arteta is targeting another centre-back, central midfielder and left winger.

Arsenal have stormed into the lead to sign Brighton's Jack Hinshelwood following interest from Manchester City and Manchester United. The 21-year-old has become a top priority for the Gunners this summer with sporting director Andrea Berta gearing up to make direct contact with his representatives.
The Sun reports that an official bid is being prepared, with Arteta seeing Hinshelwood as the perfect addition to his growing squad. This is due to his versatility, with the midfielder able to play at both full-back positions and across the midfield.

Jarell Quansah is deemed not for sale by Bayer Leverkusen. However, should the German outfit consider a change in stance, then Liverpool would be given first choice of the defender.
Sky Sports reported Arsenal's interest in the England international on Friday, with talks opening over a possible deal for the 23-year-old. Reports in Germany claimed the defender was "currently not for sale," but the Reds would be allowed to step in on any future deal.
BBC Sport reports that Liverpool have the chance to match any offer put in for Quansah but it is claimed that Arsenal's rivals have "no intention of actioning" this specific clause. Liverpool had a £60m buy-back option available but it has since expired.
