Arsenal have already splashed out nearly 200million on fresh talent this summer, welcoming Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga to the Emirates.

However, boss Mikel Arteta is keen to add more names to his squad before the transfer window slams shut as he looks to finally land some silverware to the FA Cup he lifted in his first season at Arsenal back in 2020.

He's also looking to trim the squad by offloading some peripheral players, having already sold Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos and released Jorginho, Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey and Takehiro Tomiyasu. Having finished runners-up in the Premier League for the past three seasons, the Gunners are aiming to clinch the title this year for the first time since 2004.

Here, Daily Star Sport delves into the latest transfer news and gossip from around the Emirates....

Juventus set sights on Jakub Kiwior

Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Juventus have their eye on Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior, reports the Mirror.

The report suggests that Lloyd Kelly, who made his move to Juventus permanent this summer after initially joining on loan in January, could be heading back to the Premier League.

Consequently, Juventus have reportedly started scouting for potential replacements for Kelly, with Kiwior being one of them. However, the report also mentions Wolfsburg's Konstantinos Koulierakis as another target.

Eberechi Eze warning

Eberechi Eze has been strongly linked with a switch to Arsenal this summer, but ex-Gunners defender Mikael Silvestre thinks he should stay put at Crystal Palace.

In a chat with Hajper, Silvestre expressed: "Eberechi Eze to Arsenal? I don't think it'd be good for him, to be honest, because there is a lot of competition and because he has so much joy and freedom at Crystal Palace.

"Going to Arsenal would, I think, be difficult because of the competition for places. But I like him a lot. Since his early days, he has been terrific. It's a shame he's had quite a lot of muscle injuries and he's missed some parts of the season. But whenever he's fit and ready, he is a top player."

Viktor Gyokeres doubts

Arsenal splashed out approximately 63.7m to bring in new striker Viktor Gyokeres this summer, but Premier League legend Paul Scholes has cast doubt on whether Mikel Arteta "really wanted him".

Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, sponsored by Sky Bet, Scholes questioned: "[Arsenal needed a] centre forward, I just wonder if you've chosen the right one.

"Because there was a lot of um-ing and ah-ing about it, I wondered if Mikel Arteta really wanted him, as the main one he wants? I'm not too sure, and he's got him now."
