Arsenal transfer news LIVE: Thomas Partey alternative identified, Gunners line up Runar Alex Runarsson to replace Emiliano Martinez and Wolves return for Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Arsenal are flying on the pitch as Mikel Arteta’s side swept past Fulham in the Premier League season opener thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continuing his fine form.

Debutants Willian and Gabriel, who scored the second, show Arteta is already getting the most out of his new signings and will insist on more signings to build on this incredible momentum. In addition to Brazilian centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes joining from Lille in a £27million deal and Willian signing on a free transfer after his Chelsea deal expired, Dani Ceballos returns on a second season-long loan from Real Madrid.

But Arteta is keen for more new faces as he continues to build a new squad, however. A new midfielder is a priority with Houssem Aouar of Lyon and Atletico Madrid’s Thomas Partey the primary options. While Emiliano Martinez is destined for Aston Villa, so a back-up to Bernd Leno will need to be brought in - here are all the latest rumours, news and gossip surrounding the Emirates as we enter the final days of the window.
