<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mikel Arteta was photographed with Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke after the Spaniard flew to America with only a few days left in the transfer window.</span></h4>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Although the reason for Arteta&#8217;s trip has not been revealed, given the close proximity of the transfer deadline, it&#8217;s likely that he traveled to meet with Kroenke to discuss spending plans.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Despite being the Premier League&#8217;s biggest spenders last summer, the Gunners have yet to open their wallets this month.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Despite that large outlay, the Arsenal hierarchy is willing to provide Arteta with additional funds this month in order to help him bring the Champions League to Arsenal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Gunners have been chasing a big-money move for Fiorentina&#8217;s Dusan Vlahovic for the better part of the month.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">After scoring 17 goals in just 21 league games this season, the Serbian sensation is one of the most sought-after players in the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">But despite stumping up a £59million fee that Fiorentina have reportedly requested for their star man, Vlahovic is seemingly on the verge of securing a switch to Juventus instead</span></p>
