Arsenal are one of this summer's busiest Premier League clubs after a fairly slow start, with sporting director Andrea Berta's slightly scattergun approach now beginning to yield serious results.

Berta is known for holding talks with numerous targets, before ultimately deciding which one to pursue, in any given position - and that philosophy has been made crystal clear by the Italian's simultaneous work on deals for both Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres.

While Arsenal's striker pursuit remains an ongoing situation, and most likely will do for the foreseeable future, Berta could be about to welcome a total of four new signings across an array of different areas.

Arsenal confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga on Tuesday and may soon announce Martin Zubimendi's arrival too, with Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard expected to undergo a medical this week (The Athletic).

Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera is also in talks to join Arsenal, so if all goes to plan, Mikel Arteta's squad is poised to be significantly reinforced just under two months before transfer deadline day on September 1.

Rodrygo to issue Real Madrid transfer demand after Arsenal talks

Following the aforementioned quartet, it is widely anticipated that a new attacking midfielder/winger will make the move to north London as well.

According to reports, one top target is £206,000-per-week Real Madrid winger Rodrygo.

As per reliable journalist Ben Jacobs, Arsenal have already held "exploratory talks" with the Brazil international dating back to May, amid an impressive season at the Bernabeu where he's managed 14 goals and 11 assists in all competitions - including his contributions at the Club World Cup.

Now, according to another update from Graeme Bailey, the 24-year-old will make clear his desire to leave Real this summer, and Rodrygo is "quickly emerging" as a "dream" signing for Arsenal.

“I think Rodrygo is quickly emerging as Arsenal’s dream target," Bailey told TBR Football.

“From what I’m hearing, from people close to the situation, once Real Madrid get back from the Club World Cup, Rodrygo is going to make it clear that he wants to leave.

“I think everything points towards Rodrygo leaving and my belief is that Arsenal will be towards the top of his desired places to go. Arsenal know what kind of fee it will take to sign Rodrygo, around £75m, they know about his wages, and that hasn’t scared them off one bit.

“It would be a huge feather in Berta’s cap to sign Rodrygo, and there’s a genuine belief within the Arsenal camp that the Brazilian would be an outstanding fit.

“But that doesn’t stop Arsenal from bringing in two wide players, I think there is a real possibility that they do that.”

Rodrygo could be joined by Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, who reportedly held "positive" talks over a move to Arsenal last weekend (GiveMeSport).

While it remains to be seen whether Berta can complete either of those ambitious moves, Arsenal are showing serious intent ahead of another Premier League title challenge.
