Mikel Arteta, Arsenal coach, said the team is actively looking for new contracts in the transfer window, but he also admitted that there are only a few available players who can help the team go further. Arsenal had difficulty recruiting Vinicius Junior, when this player decided to extend his contract with Real Madrid. The team was also unsuccessful in signing Morgan Rogers, who joined Chelsea from Aston Villa earlier this summer.
Arsenal completed the £75 million signing of Bruno Guimaraes on Saturday, and the Brazilian made his debut in a friendly against Como at Emirates Stadium. However, Arteta said the team's efforts to strengthen the attack are still ongoing. "We still have a lot of work to do because every time we have an opportunity to improve the squad and bring quality and depth to the team, we have to take advantage of that," Arteta said. "We are actively trying to do this. However, the transfer market does not depend only on us. We completely understand that. But the determination and desire of the club is indisputable. We want to try to do it, but we cannot promise that we will because it does not depend only on us."
Arsenal are interested in Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez and Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola, but it seems the search for a quality attacker will continue this transfer window. "I think to improve, there are very few players on the market who can bring that to the club," Arteta added. "But again, we are actively looking to improve and will try to do that."
When asked if Arsenal's salary structure could be affected by such big signings, Arteta replied: "I'll leave that question to [sporting director] Andrea [Berta] and the board. My job is to focus on getting the best from the players available, creating a connection between them and helping every player feel important, regardless of their salary."
Arteta was happy to give Guimaraes his debut against Como, as the player put in an impressive performance as a substitute just four days after joining from Newcastle, and is now likely to start in the Community Shield against Manchester City next Sunday. "Let's see," Arteta said. "He only had three training sessions, but he looked really good. He really wanted to get minutes. I think he wanted to get his debut and the feeling of playing in front of our fans right away. And you could feel right away, I believe, a strong connection forming that will make us better."
Myles Lewis-Skelly has been linked with a possible exit from Arsenal after Guimaraes joined the team. He is a target of Chelsea and also a long-term target of Manchester United. However, the 19-year-old scored for Arsenal against Como, after which he made a heart gesture in front of the home fans. "It's great to score, you should be emotional when you score," Arteta said of Lewis-Skelly's celebration. "He is a very emotional player. I remember he made many gestures on the field last season. I will not talk about any rumors. If there are rumors about our players, it is a good sign. It means we attract attention and they are doing a good job. I think he had a very good summer training. We asked him to play in another position, because we lack a central midfielder, Obviously because of the international responsibilities, and I think he's had a very consistent summer of training.
What happens next
Arsenal is expected to continue looking for new contracts in this summer transfer window, with an interest in players such as Julian Alvarez and Bradley Barcola. Coach Arteta has indicated that finding a quality attacking player will be a top priority. The club will need to consider carefully in the context of the transfer market becoming more competitive.
