Arsenal officially confirmed the signing of star striker Viktor Gyokeres on Saturday, but the Sweden international is unlikely to be the Gunners' last arrival of the summer.

The North London club have managed to get the majority of their business done already, but Mikel Arteta has hinted that there are still moves to be made as he seeks to 'balance out' his squad.

“Let's see. The market is still going on and we'll have to balance out the squad as well. I think we'll be open to see what happens,” Arteta told the media after a friendly clash with Newcastle.

With El Khannouss now seemingly the man chosen to take Eze's place, Arsenal are expected to open formal talks with Palace to strike a deal, with Arteta and company ready to go 'all in' on the versatile attacker.
