Arsenal transfer targets Julian Alvarez and Kenan Yildiz with Gunners forward Gabriel Martinelli
Hello and welcome to football.london's Arsenal transfer live blog on Monday, August 24.
The Premier League is officially underway with Mikel Arteta's side picking up a a dominant win over Coventry City on Friday. Despite an impressive attacking display, the Gunners are still looking at options to bolster their frontline with Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez their main target.
He made his first appearance for the Spanish side yesterday but it ended in chaos as he was heavily booed and later left the pitch while his team-mates applauded the home support. With selling to Barcelona not an option, Arsenal's chances of signing him look to have increased.
Atletico would prefer to keep him, however, which has seen Kenan Yildiz emerge as an alternative with Juventus making their stance clear on his future. If a signing is made, it could spell the end for Gabriel Martinelli at Arsenal with talks ongoing between the club and Al Hilal over a potential transfer.
With all of that being said, stay with us throughout the day as we bring you the latest Arsenal transfer news....
