Speaking ahead of the new Premier League season, Mikel Arteta revealed that Arsenal's transfer business is not yet complete. He stressed that the club remains active in the market and wants to improve competition within the squad despite already making several additions this summer.

Arsenal has already strengthened key areas by signing goalkeeper Illan Meslier, forward Christos Tzolis, and completing the permanent transfer of defender Piero Hincapié. However, Arteta indicated that the club is still evaluating opportunities to further reinforce the team before the transfer deadline.

The Arsenal manager declined to comment on reports linking the club with high-profile players such as Bruno Guimarães and Vinícius Júnior, but emphasized that defending the Premier League title requires continuous improvement. He noted that every successful team must evolve to remain competitive against rivals that have also strengthened their squads.

Arsenal will begin its Premier League title defense later this month with high expectations from supporters after ending a 22-year wait for the championship. Football analysts believe any additional signings could further strengthen the club's chances of competing for both domestic and European trophies during the 2026–27 season.
