"?According to Italian newspaper "?Gazetta dello Sport, Arsenal are lining up a £45m double swoop for Inter Milan pair Marcelo Brozovic and Jeison Murillo.
Inter's financial situation means that they need to raise funds in the close season, and would be willing to listen to offers for the pair.
Arsene Wenger did not sign a single outfield player last summer, and recurring issues again came back to undermine Arsenal's bid for trophies.
The Frenchman appears determined not to repeat the mistake this season and while Arsenal still lack a commanding centre back partner for Laurent Koscielny, Gunners fans will hope that 24-year-old Colombian international Murillo fits the bill.
The already-confirmed signing of Swiss holding midfield player Granit Xhaka, the January capture of Basel's Mohammed Elneny and the return from injury of Francis Coquelin gave Arsenal fans hope of resolving their long-held issue with a lack of a disciplined holding midfielder.
However, Wenger's reported interest in Croatian international Brozovic suggests that the Frenchman still feels improvement is needed in that area of the pitch.
Gunners fans will hope to get a chance to scout their potential new signing at the forthcoming European Championships, with Croatia boss Ante Cacic weighing up the prospect of using the Inter man to anchor his midfield and allow Spain-based playmakers Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic to flourish.
"?"?Arsenal fans would be pleased to see Wenger acting early and decisively in the transfer market, in the wake of another disappointing season.
However, many Gunners supporters appear to feel that their manager should be investing at the top end of the pitch, with Juventus' Alvaro Morata and free agent Zlatan Ibrahimovic both viewed as obtainable upgrades on current striking options Olivier Giroud, Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott. The former Southampton man has also been linked with a move away from the club.
