Patience key for Emery
Unai Emery say he'll stay patient in his bid to add new faces to his Arsenal squad this summer.
The Gunners have so far only managed to bring in 18-year-old winger Gabriel Martinelli.
Arsenal missed out on Champions League qualification for the third successive season having failed to secure a top-four finish and also lost the Europa League final 4-1 to London rivals Chelsea in Baku.
It has so far proved a frustrating summer, with a £25m bid for Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney and a £40m offer for Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha both being rejected.
I want to sign one, two, three or four players only if we can be sure they are coming to improve our team.

Emery is not about to panic, he says.
"Really I am with patience because we want to choose the best solution," he said. "Some players are very expensive and we are waiting for this possibility.
"We don't want now to go to the second line of players. We are waiting. We have very good players. We have very good young players. We are aware also that we need to improve some players in this squad.
"I want to sign one, two, three or four players only if we can be sure they are coming to improve our team."
Emery says he is working closely with new sporting director Edu and head of football Raul Sanllehi to try and get the players they want.
"There are a lot of names. The club is working, Edu is very close to me and Raul. We speak every day," Emery said.
Arsenal are 40/1 to win the Premier League title next season and 5/4 to secure a place in the top four.
