Arsenal had an impressive transfer with all six summer signings already making an impact in the side.
However, the need to keep evolving the side have been recognised, with striker and central midfield identified as the next priority areas.
Albert “Sambi” Lakonga continues to grow, but with Mohamed Elneny certain to leave at the end of the season, the midfield options are thin, given Thomas Partey continues to struggle with injury.
Now one man who has been tipped to supplement the ranks is Tyler Adams of Red Bull Leipzig, who as a hybrid player capable of playing both as a defensive midfielder and right back.
He has been linked with the Gunners before and reports from Germany suggest that the Gunners may be ready to reignite their interest in the US international.
At 22 years old, he fits the age profile of player that Arsenal are now trying to recruit. He is under contract with the Bundesliga side until 2025 and they are believed to value him at £34 million.
