Having missed out on Champions League football last season, the aim of Mikel Arteta's side this time around was to break into the top four and earn a return to the Champions League.
However, the Gunners are currently exceeding expectations on the back of adding the likes of William Saliba, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus to their squad.
According to reports from leading UK Tabloids, the club's owner are prepared to bankroll more activity in the transfer market, aware that it could prove to be the difference when it comes to finishing in the top four or winning a trophy.
The report claims that Arteta wishes to sign at least two players, with a new central midfielder almost certain to be at the top of the Spaniard's list of priorities.
Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey and Albert Sambi Lokonga have taken on the bulk of the workload in the middle of the pitch, the former playing all but two minutes of Arsenal's Premier League matches thus far.
