We want more signings — Arteta not satisfied with Madueke, Zubimendi

Mikel Arteta has revealed that Arsenal are short on numbers and are focused on enhancing the depth and quality of their squad.

The Gunners have been active in the transfer market, securing Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard, and Noni Madueke for a combined £123.5 million.

They are also in talks for a €73.5 million deal to sign Sporting CP’s prolific striker Viktor Gyökeres and are pursuing Valencia’s young defender Cristhian Mosquera.

Arteta stayed cautious when asked about the 27-year-old Swede, saying, “I cannot comment on any player who is not part of our group yet. When we have something concrete to offer in any case to any player, we will do that.”

On the possibility of new faces joining the 30-man squad during the tour, he added, “There’s still a long time in the window and we are still seeking. 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.”
