What happened. Arsenal are frontrunners to sign Victor Osimhen, who is close to realizing his Premier League dream, with a fee of at least £58m mentioned.

• Arsenal already signed Bruno Guimaraes, Tzolis, Meslier, and Hincapie this summer.
• They missed out on Vinicius Junior and likely Julian Alvarez.
• Osimhen would fill the striker gap before Friday's opener.

A deal could be completed this week as Arsenal prepare to face Coventry City on Friday.
