Arsenal's performance in this transfer window clearly shows what they prioritize the most, and what they believe that they needed the most. They signed Zubimendi, alongside a backup(Norgaard). And signed Madueke to act as a backup for Saka. tbh, I won't be surprised at all if Arsenal decided not to sign any player further.

Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke are players Arteta really wants to sign. He claimed to have Madueke as a replacement/backup for Bukayo Saka, while Zubimendi was signed to replace Thomas Partey in the squad; Norgard was also signed to have more creative options in the midfield, which are all good signings, but it is not yet over because the attacking problem is not yet solved. We can keep relying on Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz as our top strikers because we lost the Premier League to Manchester City two consecutive seasons due to a lack of strikers, and it is obvious, so I don’t see Arsenal starting this season without a striker.

The problem is, I sense that there is more to Arsenal getting very good players, than what we are seeing now. Their Attack was totally miserable due to injuries last season, but the club failed to go for qualities this season. The thing is, I don't think Arsenal will stress themselves on this Gyokeres deal. I believe that they made attempts to sign him just because the fans are demanding for a striker. Arteta seem to be very comfortable with Havertz and Merino, because the club has turned to a family and personal relationship for him. I don't see the fans supporting Arteta if he fails to win a major trophy this season.

Arsenal needs to sign Victor Gyokeress, in fact the deal is almost a done deal because they have the same valuation of money, just that the payment structure is the problem and I am very sure that will be ironed out as soon.
Sporting CP wanted €80m to be paid €70m+€10m in addons which sum up to €80m; while Arsenal wants to pay €65m+€15m in addons which also sum up to €80m.

Now that the player refused to train with the rest of his team mates, they will facilitate the deal and I am sure Arsenal might agree to their demand since the player has made his intentions clear to join Arsenal.
