Arsenal Considers Late Transfer Options Before Deadline

As the transfer window closes, Arsenal has made significant moves, including the signings of Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino, while still eyeing potential additions like Feyenoord's Santiago Gimenez and a backup for Bukayo Saka. However, they have opted against pursuing Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres due to his high release clause of €100 million. Meanwhile, Arsenal is also exploring options for a wide attacker, specifically targeting Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao, although the player appears reluctant to leave Spain. Ian Wright has called for reinforcements to prevent Saka from burning out, highlighting the need for depth in the squad. Mikel Arteta's strategic decisions have drawn praise, especially after the team's strong start to the season. The outcome of Arsenal's late transfer efforts remains to be seen as the deadline approaches.
