Arsenal transfer news: Valencia respond to Cristhian Mosquera bid after Real Madrid twist

Arsenal started the month quietly but the Gunners are making plenty of noise as they prepare for pre-season, with multiple new signings on the verge of being finalised

Arsenal fans were promised a busy summer and it’s shaping up that way, as sporting director Andrea Berta works around the clock to build Mikel Arteta a squad capable of winning the Premier League title. Less than a month into the window, the Gunners are closing in on the signings of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi and Brentford’s Christian Norgaard – and they won’t stop there.

Top of virtually every Arsenal fan’s wish-list this summer has been a striker. Berta and Co. are sussing out deals for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Sporting Lisbon talisman Viktor Gyokeres before deciding on which man should lead the line for Arteta’s title chasers next season.
