The Arsenal management Mikel Arteta together with Sporting Director Edu will be looking to strengthen their squad as they look to keep the momentum going after a best ever Premier League season start.

With their top striker Gabriel Jesus ruled out for at least 3 months due to a knee injury, the club options remain with Eddie Nketiah who scored has been lacking enough Premier League minutes and Folarin Balogun who is currently on Loan but with a call back clause on his contract.

Mikel Arteta said on Thursday after the 3-0 win that his main priority will be to work with the players he has but also added that the club will take the necessary steps to strengthen.

There have been several links with Arsenal including Mykhailo Mudryk who currently plays in Ukraine.

It will be interesting to see the club ambitions especially coming back to the Premier League with a 5 point lead at the top of the table with 37 points ahead of Manchester City with 32 points.
