Arsenal fans will finally be appeased on Friday afternoon as the club are reportedly set to put two new signings through their paces in a medical before announcing their deals.

According to Sky Sports’ La Liga expert, Guillem Balague, Valencia defender Shkodran Mustafi and Deportivo striker Lucas Perez will be presented by the Gunners together at 3pm on Friday afternoon.

BBC Sport reporter, David Ornstien, is reporting that the pair will undergo their medicals in London on Friday, with The Gunners shelling out over £50m on the double deal.

Arsene Wenger has been chasing both a striker and a central defender all summer, with the North London side having struggled to find a top goalscorer in recent years and being in the midst of a defensive crisis going into the new season.

    Its about time Wenger showed he has the nerve to spend and make a statement that consistency in the top four and UCL is not enough

    I don’t know why Wenger takes that long to make a decision.

    we shouldn’t have lost to Liverpool.

    Very happy to hear this news and praying that it will not go the way the other went in the past years. We need to strengthen our squad to compete with other elite clubs in England and Europe

    We await with belated breath the announcement of Mustafi & Perez . Obviously the fans were looking for a top striker but it appears the club or Wenger wanted someone cheap ( 20m Euro). This is the information fans were not aware of that Arsenal won’t pay big moneys for a player & the purchase of Ozil was out of character.

    We fans have consistently been asking Wenger to beef up the forward and central defence but to my mind his old ways of thinking is one of the problems of Arsenal. With this inconsistency he wanted to force some of us out of the club to avoid criticism
