Fabrizio Romano has give his ‘here we go’ confirmation to an Arsenal signing after the Gunners launch a bid to sign Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid.
The Gunners have so far made three new signings with Illan Meslier joining from Leeds United on a free transfer and Christos Tzolis joining from Club Brugge in a deal worth around £34m, while Arsenal also made a loan move for Piero Hincapie into a permanent transfer.
Arsenal are looking for quality over quantity this summer after being crowned Premier League champions last term and reaching the Champions League final.
The Gunners were dealt a blow last weekend with news that Chelsea had beaten them to the signing of Aston Villa attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers for £117m
Arsenal were not prepared to pay that much for the England international with Rogers declaring Chelsea the “biggest club in London” on his arrival at Stamford Bridge.
And Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta will be wary of not losing out on another signing as they continue to bid for Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.
