Arsenal will splash more \u200ccash before the summer transfer window closes, manager Mikel Arteta said, insisting the Premier League champions will not “sit still” while they prepare to defend their first English top-flight title in 22 years. <\/p>\n
Arsenal have been relatively quiet in the market compared to big-spending rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Chelsea, but the north London side have been linked with moves \u200cfor Newcastle \u200cUnited midfielder Bruno Guimaraes and Real \u200cMadrid \u2060winger Vinicius Jr. <\/p>\n
While \u2060Arteta would not be drawn on Arsenal’s reported pursuit of the pair, he told reporters on Saturday that the club were determined to “improve and evolve” the squad. <\/p>\n
“We expect to have movements in the next few weeks, \u2060obviously,” the Spaniard added, speaking after \u200ca 4-1 preseason win \u200cover Girona. <\/p>\n
“We want to get better like anybody \u200celse, and you just can see the \u200ctransfer market and our opponents, what we are doing. We won’t sit still and we are very ambitious with what we are doing. <\/p>\n
“The margins are \u200cvery small. Because we want to get better and the level is \u2060going \u2060to increase. We need to increase the competition internally. We need to make sure we identify the things that we don’t have in the team.” <\/p>\n
Arsenal have so far signed goalkeeper Illan Meslier and forward Christos Tzolis, while defender Piero Hincapie has joined permanently after spending the last season at the Emirates on loan. <\/p>\n
They begin the defense of their Premier League title at home against promoted Coventry City on August 21. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arsenal will splash more \u200ccash before the summer transfer window closes, manager Mikel Arteta said, insisting the Premier…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":571452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-571451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/571452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
