Mikel Arteta will need to find a solution if he's to add more players to his roster before the window slams shut on September 1st.
Arsenal transfer news
As far as transfer windows go, so far this summer it has been a pretty good one or Arteta and Co. at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners were successful in their £105 million pursuit of Declan Rice, who swapped east London for north during his switch from West Ham United.
Identified early on as their priority purchase, Arsenal beat Manchester City to the England international's signature, with Rice himself having made an immediate impression at the club.
Speaking during an interview, the dynamic midfielder claims he already 'sees football differently' after working under Arteta on Arsenal's pre-season tour of the United States (via The Telegraph).
Rice has been joined at Arsenal by fellow summer signings, Kai Havertz (£65 million) and Jurrien Timber (£38 million), in what has been a hectic transfer window for the Premier League runners-up.However, as a result of their spending spree, which has so far racked up a bill in excess of £200 million, Arsenal are having to tighten the pursestrings somewhat.
Which is a disappointment for Arteta, who has Ajax star Mohammed Kudus on his radar.
What has Ben Jacobs said about Arsenal?
When asked about Arsenal's interest in Kudus and whether it was genuine, journalist Jacobs admitted Arteta was keen on the Ghana international, but suggested a deal would be difficult to pull off.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Jacobs said: “Arsenal, I think, are quite content to sit back at this point. They've had a great window so far.
"They've spent a lot of money, so I think Arsenal will be looking first and foremost to resolve the outgoing situation before they move. And that will include advancing on anything for Kudus at this point.”
