The transfer window is full of conflicting goals this summer as teams from across the world battle to sign some of the best players out there. Arsenal have so far had a relatively stress free time of it.

Declan Rice came in with little obstacle despite a late attempt from Manchester City to disrupt the deal. Their early courting of the player helped them become clear frontrunners and not even some delays following an agreement could stop them reaching a club record deal.

Jurrien Timber was sown up quickly and Kai Havertz emerged as a target and was holding a shirt shortly after as well. It has been a breeze so far this summer but things now look set to change.

Jurgen Klopp has made it clear that Liverpool are keen to add midfielders to their squad after a firesale of players. James Milner was the first to leave but in recent weeks the number has grown with Jordan Henderson moving to Saudi Arabia and Fabinho also still in the mix to join him.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita have also departed and even with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai brought in, the Reds are after more.

“It’s definitely important to strengthen in midfield. We have to do something, that is clear,” Klopp admitted on Saturday. “We are working on solutions. First people want changes, now everyone is worrying about the changes. We are really optimistic about it. E

Liverpool are keen to add Romeo Lavia as one of their primary targets and that may well be a dent in Arsenal’s hopes to brining in the Southampton teenager. All of a sudden there is a battle on the cards.

football.london says: Arsenal may not fancy there chances with Lavia anymore. Having seemingly made progress with the player earlier in the window they are now much less desperate to recruit in midfield compared to Liverpool or even Chelsea.

The Reds have made all the moves so far and have seen a bid of £50million ($64m) rejected. Given the lack of finances recouped from sales in north London, it’s hard to see Mikel Arteta and Co matching that just yet. Unless Lavia’s future draws on deep into the window, of which there are just over four weeks left, Arsenal are up against it here.xcited as well.”

One player that appears almost certain not to be at the Emirates Stadium next season is Folarin Balogun. The 22-year-old seems to be out of Arteta’s plans having found a role hard to come by in pre-season and his current injury isn’t helping things.

Arsenal are willing to let him go but value him at around £50million ($64m), football.london understands. It has so far priced teams across the continent out of a deal but Inter are sticking around.

With Italian publications suggesting that a recruitment meeting was held to discuss how they go about their business, it’s Balogun that is attracting the most attention. Even with Udinese striker Beto being on the list, Balogun’s age and potential is making him their concrete first choice.

football.london says: Balogun staying for much longer doesn’t seem to benefit anyone. The player is after first team football and his lack of action in pre-season doesn’t bode too well for the upcoming season. With extra attacking depth it is a true battle for Balogun to get in ahead of Gabriel Jesus or Eddie Nketiah let alone Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, who have also been used.
