What happened. Arsenal confirmed Gabriel Martinelli's £60m transfer to Al-Hilal, a club-record sale for the Gunners.

• Fee eclipses previous record set by Oxlade-Chamberlain's £35m move in 2017.
• Martinelli turned down Galatasaray last month.
• Arsenal added only Christos Tzolis as attacking reinforcement.

Martinelli's exit follows Arsenal's failed pursuit of top left-wing targets, leaving them light in attack.
