Arsenal boss has refused to rule out a move for Kylian Mbappe this summer after PSG put their star man up for sale.
The north London side have already spent in excess of Β£200m on Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber in a bid to go one better than last seasonβs second-placed Premier League finish.
They may not be done there either, with more additions potentially on the cards should they be able to shift some of their excess squad bloat, including the likes of Cedric Soares, Rob Holding and Nicolas Pepe.
Quizzed on new signings, the Gunners boss admitted that further new blood could well be coming to the Emirates Stadium before the transfer window shuts on September 1st.
βI donβt know. There will be movement still. There will be a lot of ins and outsβ, he explained. βItβs still very early. Obviously the last week has been a bit quiet. If we can try and improve the team weβll do so. But we donβt want to get any weaker so we have to be sure of that as wellβ
One player who has been linked to north London is Mbappe, who is thought to have been βput up for saleβ by Paris Saint Germain in the midst of a contract standoff and has been left out of their pre-season tour of Japan.
Quizzed on the links, Arteta refused to be drawn though.
βYou know I never talk about players that donβt play for our club,β Arteta said. βIβm sorry.β
Should he become available, he would likely be yet another British record transfer for Arsenal, and would elevate the Gunners from also-rans to title favourites.
