Arsenal\u2019s transfer business is nearly complete, with just under one month remaining in the window before it slams shut.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gunners have made six additions to the squad and are still looking at the possibility of adding one more to the team.<\/p>\n

Eberechi Eze has been linked with Arsenal<\/a> as a potential option who could strengthen the left wing and the attacking midfield positions.<\/p>\n

While many are looking ahead to the possible arrival, it\u2019s one move that Andrea Berta<\/a> has already completed, which has shaped a positive summer for Mikel Arteta<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> were in the market for a striker this summer and had several targets who could fit the bill for the side.<\/p>\n

While there were plenty of factors that went into who the Gunners picked, it was clear that Arteta wanted a deal to be wrapped up as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

In the end, Arsenal signed Viktor Gyokeres<\/a>, landing him on a deal from Sporting CP and finally putting their striker debate to an end.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the situation surrounding their other targets suggests that Arteta should be pleased that Berta sealed a deal when he did.<\/p>\n

Newcastle prepared to improve their \u20ac75m+\u20ac5m offer to Leipzig with optimism a fee and structure can be agreed.<\/p>\n

Fixed fee already meets Leipzig\u2019s valuation. <\/p>\n

Manchester United also held talks with Leipzig on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

If Arsenal were to get wrapped up in that, then they would still be stuck waiting to land the forward.<\/p>\n

Similar goes for Alexander Isak<\/a>, as Liverpool and Newcastle are both battling it out over the future of the Swedish international.<\/p>\n

Instead, Arteta can get stuck into teaching Gyokeres<\/a> about the tactical automations within his team for the new season, so he can hit the ground running.<\/p>\n

Arsenal will be hoping that the early business they have conducted in the transfer market will be enough to bring them success.<\/p>\n

The Gunners have a difficult start to the season, facing plenty of their rivals in the early weeks, which adds to the challenge.<\/p>\n

Getting bodies through the door and ready to compete from the start should help Arsenal get off to a quicker start.<\/p>\n

With the striker issues solved, it won\u2019t be something hanging over their head in the next few weeks, as full focus is placed on their trip to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
