Unlike previous seasons over recent years, Arsenal has had a very strong start to the summer transfer window that has satisfied their fans.The Gunners have confirmed the signing of two players so far that has filled vital needs in their squad. First off, they confirmed they would be signing defender Sead Kolasinac on a free from Schalke before the transfer window opened.Last week, the team finally addressed their attacking problems that have kept them out of the Premier League title race for many seasons now with the addition of striker Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon on a five-year deal for a club-record fee of £46.5 million, which could rise to £52.6 million with add-ons.The club is still in the hunt for two more players, a midfielder and a striker, and both of them could come from AS Monaco, with Thomas Lemar and Kylian Mbappe both being targets. However, Arsene Wenger has admitted one of them might not be coming to the Gunners anymore, at least not in this transfer window.According to Kaveh Solhekol of Sky Sports, the Arsenal manager has said the club hasn't made a bid for Mbappe, and they believe he will still be at Monaco by the end of this summer transfer window.

If Arsenal is to pry the 18-year-old away from the Ligue 1 champions in this transfer window, they'll have to battle against several other teams from across Europe for his signature, as both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have also registered their interest in the youngster.

It was only yesterday that Mbappe teased fans on Twitter that he had a big announcement to make, with many believing he would be revealing which club he will be playing for next season. Instead, the striker revealed he would be playing in a new pair of Nike boots in the 2017-18 campaign.

The Gunners may have to look elsewhere for a midfielder as well, as the Monegasques have said they would not sell Lemar to the club unless a significant offer is made. Arsenal has had bids of £30 million and £40 million rejected by the French club for the 21-year-old.
