The images surfaced on Reddit, just hours after Arsenal swept aside Leicester 4-2 to make it two wins from two for Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal can finally breach the top four as a result.Mikel Arteta has not had the best time in the Premier League, with finishes of eighth, eighth and fifth - the last campaign perhaps being the most disappointing having been in the top four for much of the season until the final few weeks where they relinquished their spot to rivals Tottenham.

Arsenal have stumped up £3million to snap up Sao Paulo prospect Marquinhos - and landed a long-term partnership with the Brazilian outfit so they can pinch their top young talent.Speculation has been rife in recent weeks that Marquinhos was set to seal a dream switch to the Premier League, and the 19-year-old Brazilian starlet has now finally put pen-to-paper on a long term deal at the Emirates to officially become Mikel Arteta's first summer signing.The exciting winger made 33 appearances senior appearances for Sao Paulo, who play in the Brazilian top-flight. Marquinhos has also represented his country at youth level and is set to get the chance to impress his new manager and teammates in pre-season.The Gunners have paid the Sao Paulo a sizeable sum for Marquinhos - but club director Carlos Belmonte recently revealed that the Londoners could have pinched the attacking prospect for free.However, Arsenal director Edu Gaspar was keen to pay up for the talented youngster as he's keen to ensure that the two clubs have a relationship going forward to ensure that the Gunners can bring Sao Paulo's top young talent to north London.Garmento told Gazeta Esportiva: “We have a spectacular relationship with Edu Gaspar, who told us that he knew that Marquinhos could leave for free, but that he was still going to look for funds to pay for Sao Paulo, because he wants to have a relationship with São Paulo.

Arsenal’s attempts to sign a striker on transfer deadline day ended in failure after the club decided against activating Real Sociedad target man Alexander Isak’s release clause.The Gunners made a late move to swoop for Isak after missing out on Dusan Vlahovic, who joined Juventus in a £63million deal in the last week of the transfer window.They entered negotiations with the La Liga outfit, only to be quoted the clause for the minimum buyout fee written into his contract.La Real reportedly demanded Isak’s £77m release clause to be paid in full and informed Arsenal they would not accept a lower amount.According to The Athletic, the north London club deemed the amount to exceed his actual market value and withdrew their interest, focusing on other targets.The 22-year-old has scored eight goals in 25 appearances across all competitions, but only four in 18 La Liga outings.Isak, a Sweden international, has been tipped as the nation’s biggest attacking talent since Zlatan Ibrahimovic and caught the eye with some impressive performances at Euro 2020.While technical director Edu Gaspar may have been right to decline to pay the clause, the Brazilian will have some feelings of regret after failing to add a striker to Mikel Arteta’s squad before the transfer window shut.The club also approached Espanyol about a move for 12-goal striker Raul de Tomas, but were again told to pay his release clause, revealed to be €75m (£63m) by the club’s president.Soon, it became apparent that Arsenal would not be signing a striker, which means Arteta must cope with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah until the end of the season.Both strikers can leave on free transfers at the end of the campaign as their contracts expire in June, which could
