Ivan Gazidis: 'Arsenal will sign more players'

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis has said that the club will recruit more players before the transfer window closes on August 9.

Gunners boss Unai Emery has already brought in goalkeeper Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen and Stephan Lichtsteiner from Juventus as the Spaniard prepares for his first season in charge in North London.

"We have brought in a new head of recruitment in Sven Mislintat and alongside him is Huss Fahmy who has been involved with negotiating a lot of our player contracts and also we have Raul Sanllehi who joins us from Barcelona," Gazidis told a fan event at the Emirates Stadium.

"So we really have a collective effort now, in terms of how we identify players and then how we take forward our interest and of course Unai is a huge part of that as well. This is now a different way of doing things, one with a very, very accomplished team of professionals who we have spent time bedding into the club.

"Unai has been in the thick of that process in terms of what we need in the squad, we've signed two new players so far this summer and there will be more to come."

Arsenal begin their Premier League campaign with a home match against current champions Manchester City.
