EPL: Arteta hints at buying more players after Declan Rice, Timber

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has hinted at adding more players to his squad ahead of the new season.

So far, Arteta has brought in Kai Havertz from Chelsea, Jurrien Timber from Ajax and Declan Rice from West Ham.

Granit Xhaka has left the Emirates, while there are question marks over the futures of players like Thomas Partey, Cedric Soares, Nicolas Pepe and Folarin Balogun.

Speaking in the US where the team is having the second part of its preseason training, Arteta admitted they were “alert” to possibilities.

“We will be alert. There’s a lot of time still in the market.”
