Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta calls for Saudi Pro League transfer window to close at the same time as Europe's... as he believes late sales could destabilise Premier League squads

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has called for the Saudi Pro League transfer window to close in line with Europe's - but refused to rule out selling players beyond September 1.

Some of football's top names have made the move to Saudi Arabia this summer as PIF investment in four of the country's top clubs has allowed for a vast increase in transfer fees.

Arsenal host Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday and, while the Gunners have not lost any of their squad to Saudi, their visitors will be without talismanic forward Aleksandar Mitrovic, who moved to Al-Hilal last week.
