Arsenal boss Arteta enjoys the 'dream' of new signings amid Aouar and Partey links

Mikel Arteta says he enjoys the drama of the transfer window as it allows him to dream about players he could bring in.

The Spaniard is currently overseeing his first summer window as Arsenal boss and has brought in three players so far, with Brazilian duo Gabriel and Willian arriving, as well as goalkeeper Alex Runnarsson.

But Arteta wants to make further additions before Monday’s transfer deadline, with Lyon midfielder Houssem Aouar and Atletico Madrid’s Thomas Partey on his wishlist.
