Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has reportedly suggested the club will bring in more new faces despite already spending £123.5m on new signings.
The Gunners boss stated that his team are short in numbers and need to improve the depth and quality of the squad.
Arsenal have been active in the transfer market, completing deals for Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, and Noni Madueke.
Additionally, they are still negotiating a €73.5 million (£63.5 million) move for Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres and are trying to sign Valencia promising defender Cristhian Mosquera.
Arsenal had hoped to finalize a deal for Sweden international Gyokeres and include him on their preseason tour.
The transfer has not yet been finalized, but Arteta has not ruled out additional players joining them in Asia.
Arteta Still Looking To Sign More Players
According to the BBC, when asked if the club could add more players to his 30-man squad while they are travelling, Arteta said: “There’s still a long time in the window and we are seeking still.
“In terms of numbers, we are short and we have to improve the depth and quality of the squad. We are constantly looking in the market.
“Until that happens, [we] focus on the players we have – and I’m very pleased with what I have seen in the last 10-15 days.”
