Arsenal target Bayern Munich's winger, Kingsley Coman |
Right back Stephan Lichtsteiner was the first to arrive in north London, with centre-back Sokratis and goalkeeper Bernd Leno following him.
Then it was time to strengthen the midfield, with Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi arriving from Sampdoria and Lorient.
On the whole, supporters have been happy with the business that has been and how swiftly it has been conducted, with more than three weeks still remaining of the window.
But if there is one concern amongst fans going into the new season, it is that there does not appear to be much width in the squad - especially as Unai Emery is known to be a coach who likes to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, with natural wide players on either side of the attack.
So there are calls for the club to bring in one more addition, with a winger at the top of agenda - and one of the names that has been suggested is Kingsley Coman at Bayern Munich.
The France star is seen by many as the perfect signing for Arsenal, as is Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele - who is very close to Arsenal's head of recruitment Sven Mislintat.
And that was the exact the conversation that some fans were having on social media on Thursday, when Coman decided to get himself involved.
The 22-year-old's official account was tagged in a comment from one fan, along with Dembele's, when discussing what winger the club should bring in.
And Coman was clearly happy to be suggested as a potential target for Arsenal, because he liked the comment - sparking the inevitable burst of excitement from the eagle-eyed Arsenal fans who spotted his actions.
One fan replied saying: "Come to Arsenal. We really want you at the club. Such a great player we really need." Another supporter added: "Coman liked it. We couldn't, could we?"
Speaking last week about the chance of adding further additions to his squad, Emery stated that he would - but only if one big opportunity arose before the end of the window.
“Today, we are OK," he said Arsenal's head coach. "Maybe we can bring in one if there’s a very good possibility for them to help us, but the club has done a great job of signing new players and I am happy.”
“We signed the players who we needed and only if one player is a big opportunity for us will we sign them," he added.
“Normally, we are thinking about the young players, the possibility of them staying with us or going to play on loan at another team. We are also thinking about the players who were with us last year and whether we need them to stay with us.
“At the moment, I think the squad is complete. We will only sign another player if there is an opportunity to bring in that one player, or two players. We will only sign a player in the next month if he’s a big opportunity.”
