Arsenal are well adrift in the Premier League title race with the summer transfer market looking like a real missed opportunity.

Mikel Arteta’s side have been able to find some consistency in recent weeks with two big wins ♔in their🌠 last two outings.

Although Arsenal may be sat i🐷n second spot of the Premier League table, but there is still a nine-point gap to Liverpool.

Only four new signings were made over the summer with two of them coming through the💮 way of loan additi♕ons on the final day of the window.

Clearly, more could have been done by the Gunners with Arsenal already eyeing up Jamie Gittens ahead of the summer.

And it seems it is not just in attack where Arteta is l꧟ooking to make some improvements over the coming months with Arsenal plotting a potential swap deal.

Arsenal looking to swap Kieran Tierney for Martin Zubimendi

According to , Arsenal are considering a potential swap deal for Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi.

The Gunners feel as if they could have an ace up their sleeve with former Sociedad loanee Kieran Tierney a potential optiꦡon to be used in a deal for the midfielder.🐭

During the summer, the ‘world class’ Zubime🦄ndi rejected Liverpool’s interes♒t with a real🤡 opportun🅠ity to join the Premier League on the table.

Arsena𝓀l are looking to appoint Roberto Olabe as their new sporting director followi🌠ng the recent announcement on Edu Gaspar’s future.

And another positive in Arsenal’s pu🦂rsuit of Zubimendi is Olabe’s rel♊ationship with those at Sociedad having been their sporting director.

Kieran Tierney’s message to Real Sociedad fans

It has been another difficult start to the campaign for the Scotland internati🗹onal with no appearances to his name.

Tierney has now returned from a hamstring injury but his time at Arsena🌳l could soon be heading for a conclusion.

Since returning from Sociedad over the summer, Tierney has posted just once on Instagram – which was a Scotland post – having shared a farewell📖 mess꧑age in May.

“Thank you to 🐽everyone at What an am🧜azing and special club. Honored to have been a part of it.

“Despite the injury se🎐tbacks, I gave everything every time I stepped on the park and ♏you supported me all the way. It was incredible to be part of the team that made history and qualified for Europe 5 times in a row. Eskerrik asko💙🤍 we will meet again.”
