Arsenal are aiming to seal a triple swoop this week as they go into the transfer market all guns blazing.
Over the weekend, it was claimed that the Gunners had agreed a “deal in principle” to sign Gabriel Jesus with Raphinha and Lisandro Martinez next on the hitlist.

After months of talks for Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus, widespread reports say Arsenal and Manchester City have agreed a £45m fee for their No.1 target.
Coach Mikel Arteta is also keen on Jesus’ compatriot Raphinha, with the Gunners ready to up their bid to £50m for the Leeds man, after an initial £35m bid was turned down last month.

Having just missed out on a finish in the Champions League places at end of last season after a major January clearout, Arsenal are also looking to bolster their defence with Lisandro Martinez.
