With the summer transfer window just four weeks away from being 'slammed shut' (who the fuck is slamming it shut, so often, anyway? Wreckless bastards) Premier League clubs are looking to get their affairs in order ahead of the new season kicking off, next week.
One of whom is Arsenal, who are still trying to resolve their issues with Alexis Sanchez, who's future remains up in the air, with a new contract still not signed amid interest from Manchester City.
However, it's not just potential outgoings that are weighing heavy on Arsene Wenger's mind, with the Gunners manager still looking to strengthen his squad following his worst ever league performance as Arsenal boss, last term.

Monaco's Thomas Lemar has continuously been linked with a move to North London over the last few weeks, but the French champions are unwilling to sell any more first team players, having already lost Tiemoue Bakayoko, Bernardo Silva and Benjamin Mendy, this summer.

With a move for Lemar looking increasingly difficult to pull off, Wenger has reportedly made, and failed with, an approach for Bayern Munich wide man, Kingsley Coman.
Touted as one of the most promising young players in world football, Coman has endured an inconsistent couple of seasons at Bayern, so far, with Carlo Ancelotti keeping the 21-year-old on the bench for much of last season. Images: PA

Telefoot in France are claiming that Arsenal have enquired about the former Juventus youngster's availability, after he made just 10 starts for the Bundesliga champions, last season.
The Bavarian giants parted with €28 million after initially taking the French international on loan for two years (a loan deal originally sanctioned by then manager Pep Guardiola), but the 21-year-old is yet to figure regularly into Carlo Ancelotti's starting XI, with fierce competition for wide berths in the shape of Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Douglas Costa over the past two seasons.
Despite being resigned to a role on the sidelines so far, Coman is thought to be in Ancelotti's plans, with Bayern refusing to entertain Arsenal's enquiry for the young Frenchman, leaving Arsene Wenger hoping that either a deal for Lemar can be struck or Sanchez decides to finally put pen to paper on a new deal at the Emirates stadium.
Coman has made a total of 60 appearances for Bayern, scoring eight goals.
