Arsenal have been very busy in the summer transfer window so far following Emery’s appointment.
The League Cup runners up signed experienced Switzerland international Stephan Lichtsteiner in a free transfer from Serie A giants Juventus.
The Gunners have also brought in Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno in a £20m deal.
The north London outfit have also brought on Greece international Sokratis Papastathopoulos from Borussia Dortmund earlier this week.
Lucas Torreira became the fourth addition at The Emirates last week before French teenager Matteo Guendouzi completed a switch from Lorient.
