Indeed, the Gunners are keen on a new striker as they close in on a deal to sign Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori, who has flown in for a medical, and are being linked with Manchester City forward Julian Alvarez, who has previously been touted as a target for Chelsea.

Chelsea are again said to be keen on the Argentina international, while they have now further boosted Enzo Maresca’s squad by agreeing deals for both Filip Jorgensen and Aaron Anselmino. Tottenham have secured the arrival of Yang Min-hyuk amid more links to Santiago Gimenez and Federico Chiesa, while Bryan Gil is on his way to Girona.

Arteta: Timber 'like a new signing' for Arsenal

Mikel Arteta says Jurrien Timber is “like a new signing” for Arsenal.

Timber missed virtually all of his first season at Emirates Stadium after suffering a serious knee injury on the opening day of the campaign following his £38m move to Ajax.

Speaking after Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-1 in a pre-season friendly in Los Angles, Arteta said: “He’s like a new signing for us and a big addition to the team.

Now he’s getting the rhythm because obviously he’s missed a lot of football in the last year or so.

“We’ve asked him to play in a different position than we had in mind due to the numbers and the players we have at the moment, but I’m really happy.

“Just look at him, his pressing, his leadership, his composure.”

Ederson yet to make decision on Man City future

Ederson says no decision has been made about his Manchester City future amid interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia.

City boss Pep Guardiola wants Ederson to stay but has said the 30-year-old “has to decide” what he wants to do.

Speaking after City’s 3-2 defeat by AC Milan in New York overnight, Ederson said: “There isn’t a decision yet.

“To hear Pep saying that was very gratifying. It’s now my eighth season with him living many good moments, also some bad ones. He’s a guy who is easy to work with, he’s a football genius and everyone knows that. So it’s really good to hear that from him.

“I’m happy here, having a good moment with my team-mates, I’m enjoying as well to get my fitness back on track. I’m very calm, whatever happens is in God’s hands and he knows the right way to go. Whatever he gives me I’ll be happy with.”
