Arsenal are yet to make moves this summer, but Mikel Arteta is expected to be active when the window reopens.

The Premier League transfer window temporarily closed June 10 and will reopen June 16, affecting Club World Cup participants—not Arsenal.
Deals can still be negotiated, with announcements confirming players will officially join once the window reopens. Arsenal are planning carefully.
The English team are targeting a backup goalkeeper, defender, central midfielder, striker, and possibly a wide forward this summer.
Kepa Arrizabalaga is expected to arrive as goalkeeper, with midfielder Martin Zubimendi also close despite Real Madrid’s late interest.
Arsenal have worked behind the scenes on Zubimendi, and remain confident of securing the highly-rated Spain international ahead of rivals.
Striker options include Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko, while Rodrygo and Nico Williams are under consideration for the wide roles, reports Football London.
At centre-back, Marc Guehi is a possible signing, but Jakub Kiwior’s emergence could change Arsenal’s stance and save millions.
The Polish defender impressed late last season, stepping in for Gabriel and earning praise from Arteta for his performances and leadership.
Kiwior’s form, especially in the Champions League, may justify scrapping a new centre-back signing—saving Arsenal around £20 million this summer.
