The buildup to the summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Arsenal eye possible reinforcements.
The Gunners spent more than many expected during the summer - most notably their club-record purchase of Nicolas Pepe - but were more reserved in January as they focused on bolstering their defensive options.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Emirates Stadium.
Sunday morning's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup:
Barcelona 'will listen to Antoine Griezmann offers'

Barcelona are reportedly prepared to listen to offers for Antoine Griezmann during this summer's transfer window.
Griezmann only joined Barca from Atletico Madrid last July, but the France international has struggled to show his best form for the club, managing just 15 goals and four assists in 46 appearances in all competitions.
The 29-year-old has a contract at Camp Nou until June 2024, but according to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan giants are willing to listen to offers for the 2018 World Cup winner ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.
Manchester United and Arsenal have previously been credited with an interest in the attacker, who struck nine times in 35 La Liga appearances for Barca during the recent season.
Griezmann missed his side's last two league games of the 2019-20 campaign with a muscular problem and is battling to prove his fitness ahead of the Champions League clash with Napoli on August 8.
As well as the Frenchman, Barca have allegedly placed 12 players on the transfer list this summer as they look to raise the funds needed to sign Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.
Manchester City 'keen on Dani Ceballos deal'

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos during this summer's transfer window.
The 23-year-old has spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan at Arsenal, scoring twice and registering two assists in 35 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions.
The midfielder's existing loan deal at the Emirates Stadium is due to expire next month and as it stands, he will be back at the Bernabeu for the start of next season.
Ceballos is not thought to be in the plans of Los Blancos head coach Zinedine Zidane, though, and is believed to be keen to remain with Mikel Arteta's side next term.
According to Diario Madridista, City are also keeping a close eye on developments and could attempt to bring him to the Etihad Stadium this summer, with head coach Pep Guardiola a keen admirer of his talents.
Ceballos's existing deal at the Bernabeu is due to run until the summer of 2023.
