Who could Arsenal sign next? Tottenham defender Cristian Romero, Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and Juventus' Turkey winger Kenan Yildiz have all been linked with the Gunners
One big signing missed and one through the doors - it's been a mixed transfer window for Arsenal.
The Gunners were unsuccessful in what turned out to be a very public pursuit of Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr but did manage to bring in fellow Brazilian and Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes for £75m.
The signing of Guimaraes is another of the "win now" signings like Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyokeres last summer as he immediately raises the level and competition of the Arsenal squad.
Manager Mikel Arteta was asked if Arsenal supporters can expect more faces through the door before the deadline and the Spanish manager said: "Well, that's what we're trying to do. If we have the right player in the market to make us much better."
The Gunners are also going to be without two key defenders through injury in Jurrien Timber and William Saliba going into the start of this season, so it could be a busy few weeks in north London as they get set to try to defend their title.
Why Arsenal are signing Newcastle captain Guimaraes
Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid agree new six-year deal
Kenan Yildiz has been monitored by Arsenal as a potential signing
For Arsenal it is hard to find any winger who would bring the excitement levels as well as the elite numbers that Vinicius Jr can.
So what other options do the club and sporting director Andrea Berta have?
Arsenal have come into this window looking at bringing in one or two forwards and Arteta has made it clearthat any player that comes in this season has to take the club to the next level.
Arsenal signed Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge to replace the outgoing Leandro Trossard, with the 24-year-old producing a remarkable 22 goals and 29 assists in all competitions last season for the Belgian club.
Replicating those numbers is unlikely but the Greek international has looked one of the brightest players during pre-season.
Arsenal have explored a move for Paris St-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, but Liverpool are also interested and the French side are demanding a fee of more than £100m for the forward.
Morgan Rogers, before he completed his move to Chelsea from Aston Villa for £117m, was a target but Arsenal were not willing to go above £80m for the England international.
