Arsenal are ready to make one final high-profile signing after securing deals for Cristhian Mosquera, Viktor Gyokeres, and Noni Madueke.

Arsenal’s summer spending is set to surpass the £200m mark, but their manager Mikel Arteta isn’t finished yet.

The Gunners have already confirmed the signings of Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi, and Kepa Arrizabalaga.

But the Premier League North London club are set to announce three more deals this week, with Madueke, Mosquera, and Gyokeres set to join Arteta’s side.

However, according to The Athletic, Arsenal could yet make one more X-Factor signing, with Real Madrid’s Rodrygo and Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze both on their radar.

Meanwhile, in order to finance either of those deals, it is likely that some of the players will need to leave the Emirates Stadium in order to raise funds.

According to Turkish outlet Hurriyet, Mourinho is keen on a reunion with Rashford.
