Arsenal have entered the final hours of the Premier League summer transfer window with their squad already strengthened, but the biggest question remains whether they can land Julian Alvarez before the deadline.
The Argentina striker has been at the centre of one of the summer’s biggest transfer stories. Arsenal are reportedly still exploring a deal with Atlético Madrid, although the Spanish club’s valuation and Alvarez’s preference for Barcelona have made the situation complicated.
Arsenal Still Looking for Attacking Reinforcement
Arsenal have already made significant additions this summer, including Bruno Guimaraes, Ezri Konsa and Piero Hincapie. However, Mikel Arteta has suggested that the club will continue trying to improve the squad until the window closes.
With the Premier League deadline set for 11pm UK time on 1 September, Arsenal have only a limited amount of time to complete any late business.

Will Alvarez Move to North London?
Atlético are reportedly demanding a huge fee for Alvarez, while the player has previously indicated that Barcelona is his preferred destination. That has left Arsenal facing a difficult race against time.
Whether the deal happens or Arsenal turn to another attacking option, Alvarez’s situation is one of the stories likely to dominate the final hours of Deadline Day.
