Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reportedly decided on the profile of his next two signings. However, he must shift up to seven players out of his squad first before progressing with those deals.

Arteta has spent over £200million on three new signings so far. Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice have seen the Gunners have a blistering start in the summer transfer window.
However, there are still six weeks remaining before the market closes. Arteta has been public in his stance that he would still be open to making further additions.
Arsenal’s lack of squad depth was clear for all to see in their hugely disappointing end to last season. The return to Champions League football has only increased the need for more quality options in a number of positions.

The Independent claims that Arteta wants to sign another midfield player to add to the deals for Havertz and Rice, with Southampton’s Romeo Lavia on their radar. He also wants to bring in a right-back, despite the arrival of Timber.
Timber can play at right-back but operated the majority of last season at Ajax in the middle of defence. He could be used more as cover for William Saliba if another right-sided defender is brought in.
However, Arsenal will have to sell first before bringing in any new faces. The report claims the club expect to bring in at least £60m from departures.
Folarin Balogun could provide a large chunk of that amount. Inter Milan are interested in signing the young striker following his successful loan spell in France.

Arsenal’s new kit for 2023/2024 is a stylish twist on a classic as it reinvents that mid-1990s vibe. A truly modern-looking shirt with a homage to the past, the Nike kit also includes a nod to the club’s iconic Invincible’s side in the finer details while catching the eye with the lightning bolt motif
Arsenal to receive ‘firm offer’ as Mikel Arteta edges closer to Mohammed Kudus
Balogun is not the only player Arsenal will allow to leave at the right price. The Mail claimed earlier this week that six others could be on their way.
Kieran Tierney could bring in the largest fee out of the unwanted stars. He has fallen out of favour following the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko last summer.
Experienced duo Rob Holding and Cedric Soares could both go, as well as former record signing Nicolas Pepe. Albert Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares, who had loan spells away last season, are also on the list of players to go.
The likes of Holding, Cedric and Pepe are unlikely to attract substantial transfer fees. However, getting their large salaries off the wage bill will be equally as important as the fee they receive.
