Unlike many teams in the Premier League, Mikel Arteta's side will not have to go about their business looking over their shoulder due to financial stresses.

David Raya , who has now signed for the club permanently for £27m following last season's loan from Brentford.Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice raised the levels at the Emirates Stadium, even if it did not result in league silverware. Arteta's squad is now in an excellent position, and their focus will now centre around applying the finishing touches to a squad that can propel them past Manchester City.

One of those could be City's own record signing and £100million man Grealish, who saw his minutes suffer following Jeremy Doku's arrival in Manchester last year. Meanwhile, former Coventry striker Gyokeres turned into a 43-goal machine in his maiden season at Sporting CP and is attracted admiring glances from many in Europe.

The deal is expected to be completed following the move for Ricardo Calafiori, estimated to be worth £42 million.
