Arsenal's summer transfer window isn't far away from reaching its end. With transfer deadline day fast approaching, Mikel Arteta's men will need to act fast if they want to add new players to their squad.

Arsenal 'in talks' to sign Barcelona target Mikel MerinoMikel Merino is a man in demand - after he reportedly refused to sign a new deal with his current club, Real Sociedad, it has become exponentially more likely that he will move elsewhere in the summer.

This is according to a recent report from Football Espana. Barcelona and Arsenal aren't the only teams in the mix - Atletico Madrid are also thought to be interested in the Spanish international, though they are more likely to sign Chelsea's Conor Gallagher instead. The Gunners have yet to put forth an official offer for Merino's services, though he is thought to be 'open' to a move to the Premier League.

Kieran Tierney and Oleksandr Zinchenko 'expected' to leave ArsenalKierany Tierney and Oleksandr Zinchenko are expected to leave Arsenal before the end of the summer transfer window, following the pending arrival of Italian defener Riccardo Calafiori. The Gunners feel they have enough depth at the back, making Zinchenko and Tierney surplus to requirements, having arrived for PS30m and PS25m respectively.

This is according to a report from TEAMtalk, who report that Tierney could end up at Aston Villa and that Bayern Munich are 'interested' in Zinchenko. Whatever avenue the duo decide to pursue, it seems increasingly likely that they will not be playing at the Emirates Stadium next season.
