What happened. Arsenal have been linked with Julian Alvarez, but Atletico Madrid have set a massive asking price and would only sell if they can sign a replacement like Viktor Gyokeres.

• Atletico have already fended off Barcelona's interest this summer.
• Viktor Gyokeres is touted as a possible makeweight in a deal.
• Kenan Yildiz remains a long-term target but no approach yet.

With the window closing soon, Arsenal must decide whether to meet Atletico's demands or pivot to other targets.
