With only weeks remaining in the transfer window, we’re assessing how Arsenal have done in the window so far, what they still desperately need and what rumours are flying around.

Firstly lets start with the outs. Arsenal have lost Danny Welbeck and Ramsey, both on free contracts. Welbeck has contributed towards 68 goals in 206 premier league games, and Ramsey has an impressive 91 contributions in 262 games from midfield. Both will prove hard to replace for the Gunners, maybe less so Welbeck with the impressive new strike-force in North London.

Ramsey however, will leave a big dragon sized hole in the midfield. Between the Welshman’s injuries and his German team-mates ability to disappear in games, the attacking midfield role has been a recent problem for Arsenal. With their limited budget of £40m this summer you couldn’t blame the Londoners for worrying about the future creative source in the team.

Recent reports do suggest that that hole may be filled for the season by Dani Ceballos, who is apparently close to a loan move to the Emeries. With his ability to find and complete a pass, and also win back possession in the midfield, he would surely be a welcome addition to Emery’s team.

With Arsenal only apparently having £40m to spend this summer – and half of it going towards William Saliba (£27m) who will be loaned back to St Etienne for next season – some Arsenal fans may need to study the youth team to see what awaits this season.

From the impressive Reiss Nelson, who has been shockingly excluded from the pre-season tour of America, to the injured Emile Smith-Rowe, Arsenal are not short of youngsters who can make an impression this season if needed. Joe Willock looks like the next youngster who has his eyes set on a spot in the first team after an impressive game against Bayern in America.

The young midfielder is already getting named the new ‘Iniesta’ by a small selection of the fanbase. Playing a total of 148 minutes in the Premier league last season, as well as getting a goal in the Europa league, the fans will be expecting a lot more minutes this season. The Englishman scored and assisted 7 in the Premier League 2 last season, and at only 19 the young man may have a huge future ahead of himself.

Arsenal also have a few players returning from injury at the start of the season, with Rob Holding and Bellerin looking set to return late September, with Holding fighting for his fitness for the Newcastle game. They will both feel like new signings for the season ahead. Especially Holding, as the fans are crying for anyone, and we mean ANYONE , to play instead of Mustafi.

One player who Arsenal have already confirmed is Gabriel Martinelli. But who is the young Brazilian?

The forward who can play anywhere across the front three prefers to play out on the left. With a strong right foot and an eye for goal Martinelli likes to cut inside and find the net. With his pace and ability to carry the ball forward the IF will be hoping to impress pre-season and bring some more excitment to the attack, especially with his composure on the ball and ability to break down a defence.

He will have to prove to Emery that he has the strength to cope with the toughness of the Premier league, and it is a worry that the player may be a ‘one-trick pony’ with his weak left foot, but who’s to say that stops a player – I’m looking at you Robben.

Martinelli won newcomer of the year in Brazil, and even got into the team of the year. Lets hope he gets the chance to impress in England, and isn’t just left in the reserve team. The forward cost Arsenal £6m, and with his previous trial at Utd, and training at Barca, the Gunners will be hoping he can be the next Brazilian to take the Premier league by storm.

Although Arsenal are nearly spent up with their rumoured summer budget, Emery has still stated that Arsenal are still working on 3 – 4 players in this window. So lets take a look at the rumours.

As said before Arsenal are apparently close to making a deal with Madrid for Dani for a season-long loan.

Tierney is also rumoured to be becoming an Arsenal player in the near future as the Gunners keep trying to talk to Celtic and meet their valuation – which is understood to have increased since Man Utd’s signing of Wann-Bissaka.

Arsenal also have another Brazilian in their sights – Everton, who took to Instagram recently to show he’s learning English – hint?

There is a new rumour that has surfaced that Arsenal are looking to compete with Liverpool to sign Lille winger Pepe, but these rumours don’t seem to have much foundation. Unless Arsenal find some funds from somewhere – possibly from the sale of Aubameyang to Utd, who are looking at the Arsenal man to replace to outgoing Lukaku.

Zaha is still Arsenal’s No.1 priority but will they finally be able to get their man with their limited budget?

Arsenal may be able to complete more signings if they sell some of their players. According to reports there is several players available for sale at Arsenal, and with Koscielny now apparently taking legal action due to his reduced wages, who knows how the rest of the window will go for Arsenal.
