Arsenal kicked off their Premier League campaign in style on Friday night - and Mikel Arteta is still hopeful of landing fresh acquisitions before the window slams shut.
The Gunners have secured five new arrivals so far this summer, with Piero Hincapie, Illan Meslier, Christos Tzolis, Bruno Guimaraes, and Ezri Konsa all joining the club.
Julian Alvarez has been the name on everyone's lips this summer, with Arsenal embroiled in a dramatic transfer saga with Atletico Madrid for the centre-forward.
And now details of a secret meeting between Alvarez and an Atletico Madrid chief have emerged amid Arsenal's interest in the Argentina forward.
Another incoming set to be confirmed is the arrival of Igor Tyjon, who revealed his departure from Blackburn Rovers in a social media post yesterday.
The Gunners have also reached an agreement with Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal for the transfer of Gabriel Martinelli, according to Foot Mercato.
