Arsenal are working on two transfer deals already, as they look to get moves across the line early on, the Daily Mail suggest.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta and transfer chief Edu are expected to have a busy summer and it seems that their plans have already began.
The transfer window is not yet officially open, but Arsenal are already working on targets.
The Mail say that Edu has now opened talks with Ajax over signing Andre Onana.
The Gunners want the 25-year-old goalkeeper on a £7 million deal, which could prove a bargain.
They also are continuing to discuss a move for Emiliano Buendia with Norwich City.
The playmaker is close to the top of Arsenal’s wishlist, and talks are reportedly progressing.
Clever transfers
Both moves look smart for Arsenal, if they can get them across the line.
By moving early they may limit the competition for the players, who may not be as prepared as them.
For £7 million Onana, in particular, looks to be a potential bargain.
If Arsenal do sell Bernd Leno they will surely raise greater than that fee, and if they could find a quality replacement and make money, then they would have more money to spend on upgrading other areas of their squad.
