Arsene Wenger looks set to begin what most Arsenal fans hope is a last-minute spending spree.

Having only signed Yaya Sanogo this summer, the Gunners are closing in on their first notable transfer with a club record £17 million move for Bayern Munich midfielder Luis Gustavo expected to be completed in the next few days.

Their pursuit of Luis Suarez looks no closer to a conclusion, but Arsenal fans are hoping the Gustavo deal is a sign of things to come as Wenger continues to sit on a mountain of cash with deadline day looming.
