Arsenal doing the 'maximum' to make new signings but Arteta can't guarantee any deals before the transfer deadline

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal will be doing everything they can to add to their squad before Monday’s transfer deadline.

The Gunners have spent the summer chasing midfield additions but have seemingly failed to land top target Houssem Aouar, who will be staying at Lyon according to the Ligue 1 club’s president, Jean-Michel Aulas.

Atletico Madrid star Thomas Partey is another long-term target, but the Ghana international has a £45 million ($58m) release clause and the Liga club are adamant he will not be leaving unless that clause is triggered.
