Mikel Arteta says Arsenal are actively looking for more new signings in the transfer market but admits there is only a small pool of available players who can take them to the next level.
The Gunners were frustrated in their attempts to land Vinicius Junior, who chose to sign a new contract at Real Madrid, and also missed out on the signing of another top target Morgan Rogers, who joined Chelsea from Aston Villa earlier this summer.
Arsenal completed the £75m signing of Bruno Guimaraes on Saturday, with the Brazil international making his first appearance for the club in Wednesday's friendly against Como at the Emirates Stadium, but their efforts to add firepower are ongoing.
"There is more that we want to do because every time we have an opportunity to improve the squad and bring more quality and depth to the squad, we need to do that," said Arteta.
