Mikel Arteta: It's a possibility Arsenal won't sign anyone new
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has calmed the club’s interest in Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser as he targets defensive reinforcements in the transfer market. The Gunners were intensely linked with a move for Fraser last season after he enjoyed a breakthrough Premier League campaign.

The Gunners’ backline is depleted due to injuries and centre-back remains an area of concern if they side are to progress under their Spanish tactician.
The club have reportedly been in talks with Paris Saint-Germain defender Layvin Kurzawa over a free transfer in the summer but PSG say they have received no contact over a permanent transfer deal this month.
Arsenal’s nonchalance over Fraser could see West Ham swoop in for the flanker.
The Hammers are keen to bring Fraser to London Stadium for free in the summer.
