Arsenal have not made a signing yet this summer, but Mikel Arteta's focus remains on strengthening the team's attack. Arsenal are keen on both Benjamin Šeško and Viktor Gyökeres to bolster their forward unit.
Arteta is also interested in signing a winger to further improve the team's attack. The London side is linked with multiple wingers and are hoping to sign one soon.
Which of Arsenal's transfer plans could be in danger?
Arsenal appear to be intent on signing Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid, but two new bids could signal that the club waited too long to make their move.
Spanish outlet Fichajes has reported that two Saudi clubs have made massive bids for the winger. Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal have both sent Real Madrid bids near £110m.
Arsenal are extremely unlikely to come close to bidding in the same region. Their priority is to sign an outright forward, with their current unit not impressing Arteta enough. A winger would also be a nice addition, but the manager remains set on buying a high-profile forward.

Rodrygo had 20 goal contributions in all competitions this season for Real Madrid, despite playing a lesser role with the team. The winger is unhappy with his role, but Xabi Alonso has assured Real Madrid's hierarchy that he wants to keep Rodrygo.
Arsenal could miss out on one of their top targets regardless of whether Real accepts one of the Saudi bids or not.
