Arsenal are expected to add two more players to their squad this week
Arsenal is expected to complete two new signings this week as their summer business gets underway.
The Gunners have signed Fabio Vieira and have agreed to a new contract with Eddie Nketiah.
This means that their squad for next season is taking shape, but the Gunners still have work to do.
Mikel Arteta's team has some of the best players in European football on their radar.
According to the Daily Mail, they hope to complete the signings of Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus and Ajax's Lisandro Martinez in the coming days.
Both players' moves have already begun, and the Gunners will accelerate their efforts to close both of them now.
Only Arsenal's Opinion
Seeing our club get serious about its transfer business is very exciting and gives us hope for a successful summer.
Adding these two players to the squad will undoubtedly improve the group's quality and make us a stronger team.
It will provide the manager with an excellent opportunity to begin preparations with his key players as early as next month.
When they join, hopefully they won't take long to adjust to our style of play.
Arsenal believe Martinez can provide competition for established left-sided centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes while also providing cover for Kieran Tierney at left back, according to reports in.
Tierney's injury highlighted Arsenal's late-season problems when Tierney was ruled out for the remainder of the campaign, Mikel Arteta frequently has to rely on unnatural players in the position.
If Martinez arrives, it is likely that Nuno Tavares will leave, presumably on loan, though reports suggest that they would sell the Portuguese for the right price.
Lisandro Martinez can play center back, left back, and central midfield.
Martinez is an Argentina international who helped his country win the inaugural Finalissima against Italy this month at Wembley Stadium.
Last year, he was an understudy for Cristian Romero and Nicolas Otamendi as Argentina won the Copa America.
Barcelona is a fan, but they have other priorities once the proceeds from the sale of marketing licensing and broadcast rights are released.
