Jurrien Timber: “I like to look at winners. In NBA, you see them a lot. Max Verstappen, you see his interviews after races & you’re like, ‘wow, this guy is such a big winner’, I love to see that. Definitely [I can add that to Arsenal], I think we have it a lot already.” #afc

Arsenal would like to strengthen in midfield & the forward line — although additions in these areas might require departures first. [@gunnerblog] #afc

The impending arrival of Riccardo Calafiori is likely to precipitate some departures in defence. Arsenal would listen to offers for Jakub Kiwior & Oleksandr Zinchenko. Kieran Tierney is also highly likely to leave. [@gunnerblog] #afc

Mikel Arteta on if not winning the title this season would be a disappointment: “When you are so close, you really want to grab it, but I think you have to analyse the whole thing. In the end, the outcome of this football club has to be to win major trophies.”

“We are in the process to achieve that - we are very close. The level that we are showing is extremely high, but it’s not been enough to win it. That’s the target.” #afc

Mikel Arteta on Timber: “He is so willing, you can see that in his body language & the way he acts. He has worked so hard, I think he is in a really good place at the moment.”

“We are going to have to manage him now in the next few weeks, especially because the load he has been able to do in the last few months compared to the next two weeks is very different, but we are very excited.”

“It is not easy to come to a big club like here & start to set expectations with his performances & then on day one in the Premier League, you are out for the season.”

“He had his moments [where he was down], but mentally he is a really tough boy. He has a great environment around him & hopefully that will make him a better player.” #afc

Mikel Arteta on Timber’s mentality: “He is a leader. He loves to be on show & a big presence in everything that we do. He is very vocal & extremely gifted technically. He is a great addition to the team.” #afc

@FabrizioRomano: “The interest from Arsenal in Mikel Merino remains absolutely strong. Arsenal made several calls on the player’s side to confirm their interest. Merino is one of the candidates for the midfield, not the only one, but the interest is genuine.” [YouTube] #afc

Mikel Arteta on not being able to do much more to win the league the last two seasons: “We have to! Perfection in this league requires different standards to relate that world to winning the Premier League.”

“That’s what we need to do, we need to upgrade everything we’re doing & improve in every area. That’s what we’re trying to do.”

“We are so close. There are moments where we had really fine margins. We have earned to be there & obviously we want much more & we are going to try to get it.” #afc

Mikel Arteta on Tomiyasu’s injury: “It is unbelievable, because the kid works so hard. He had an incident in training this week & we don’t know the extent of that [knee] injury yet, but as a precaution, we kept him [in London]. We’ll see what happens.” #afc

Mikel Arteta on if there is an update on transfers, such as Calafiori: “No, unfortunately not. Obviously we know there are certain positions that we want to improve & give the squad better resources, especially in terms of numbers where we are very short.”

“We will try our best, but the main thing is to focus on falling in love with the players we have & make them better.”

“Yes [I’d rather get business done early], from day one, I’d have everyone. That would be my choice!”

“I don’t know [if a new signing could join USA tour]. There’s still a lot to go in the window. Edu, the board & everyone at the club are working hard.” #afc

Mikel Arteta on the mood in camp for pre-season: “It’s been very positive since day one. We started at Marbella for two weeks & then we had a week off. When the players arrived back at the Sobha Realty Training Centre, they were at it straight away.”

“It’s not a surprise because they’re a joy of a team to work with - even today [in Los Angeles], straight away with jet lag & high temperatures, they train at the same intensity.” #afc

It is not thought that Arsenal will be bringing in any superstar names this summer necessarily. Instead, the club’s policy this window is to acquire players who can raise the level of the squad in a similar manner to recent signings Jorginho & Leandro Trossard. [@kayakaynak97]

Understand Arsenal and Bologna are now preparing all documents for Riccardo Calafiori deal!

Marseille are working on a loan deal for Eddie Nketiah that includes an obligation to buy. Marseille made an opening offer for the player last week to kickstart negotiations, but they’re yet to find an agreement with Arsenal. [@RyanTaylorSport] #afc

#AFC According to reports in Spain, Arsenal are going to 'focus all of their efforts' on signing Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino after Riccardo Calafiori joins.

@MatteMoretto adds: Atletico the club 'most insistent in trying to sign' Merino.

My to też kupiliśmy z takim zapisem w umowie, więc się szykuje niezły łańcuszek gdyby się okazało że go będziemy chcieli sprzedać xd"
No nie do końca, bo możemy mieć zapis tylko z Bologna, a ich stare porozumienia z Basel mogą wygasnąć

Takehiro Tomiyasu could miss the entirely of Arsenal’s pre-season preparations after sustaining a knee injury. No timescale was publicly announced for his recovery, but CBS Sports sources indicate that initial estimates have him sidelined for two to three weeks. [@jamesbenge]

Talks ongoing between all parties involved to get Riccardo Calafiori deal sealed.

Arsenal, waiting for green light.

Mikel Merino wants to think carefully about which path to take after deciding not to renew with Sociedad. At the moment, the team that have been most insistent are Atletico Madrid. Arsenal have made some calls & enquiries, but there are no official offers yet. [@MatteMoretto]

Takehiro Tomiyasu is NOT part of the USA tour for Arsenal.

Bacary Sagna: “Riccardo Calafiori is very good - I’ve followed him a lot in Serie A this season. I’ve seen a lot of Bologna games & he’s one of the reasons they were able to qualify for the Champions League.”

“He’s calm & composed on the ball - he can break lines by committing & help the side out offensively. He’d be a fantastic player for Arsenal - any club he would join, he would be a fantastic addition.” [@paddypower] #afc

Sky Sports News has been told another Premier League club, as well as Juventus & Real Madrid tried to sign Riccardo Calafiori in the last 10 days, however, the player only wanted Arsenal and gave his word that he would join. [@SkySportsNews]

Arsenal have made a new & improved bid for Wolves goalkeeper Dan Bentley, thought to be in the region of £300k. Despite Wolves’ £1m valuation of the player, the two clubs are close to agreeing on a compromise. [@reluctantnicko] #afc
