£89m
What happened. Arsenal are reportedly risking £89m as they face the deadline without signing a key attacker, with only Bruno Guimaraes as a level-raiser so far.
- Eberechi Eze was used on the left in recent league games.
- Tzolis had a poor performance at Aston Villa before being subbed.
- Other signings like Tzolis, Konsa, Meslier, Hincapie are not starters.
Arsenal may need to rely on Eze or Tzolis if no attacker arrives before the deadline.
