Noni Madueke’s signing has been all but announced, adding depth to Mikel Arteta’s attack, but there are not done improving in the final third.

‘Deal agreed’ for teenage prospect

Arsenal have “agreed a deal” to sign Will Wright from Salford City, according to The Athletic. The 17-year-old forward will join the Gunners for a transfer fee of £200,000.

Wright broke into the Salford first team last season after impressing for the youth sides and B team. He made his senior debut against Manchester City in the FA Cup in January and went on to make two appearances in League One.

Trio on the way out?

Arsenal “would consider suitable offers” for Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira and Albert Sambi-Lokonga, Sky Sports News claim.

Zinchenko, who only has one year left on his contract, has fallen out of favour with Arteta, starting just five times in the Premier League last season. Sambi-Lokonga is also in the final 12 months of his deal, while Vieira has 24 months remaining.
