What happened. Arsenal are targeting a Barcelona star, and an £85m-rated player has opened the door to a move to England as Arteta seeks further signings.

• Arsenal have already signed Bruno Guimaraes for £75m.
• William Saliba is out for an extended period.
• Arsenal have shown interest in Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa.

Arsenal begin their Premier League title defence in eight days, so Arteta is keen to strengthen before the window closes.
