English Premier League powerhouse Arsenal will reportedly be making a gargantuan deal before the transfer period expires, targeting a trio of outstanding players to give them firepower and depth for this season's campaign.
According to Caught Offside, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is set to get three more additional players before the transfer window draws to a close. Reports indicated two of the three targets have already agreed to join the Gunners in the coming weeks.
"Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has set his sights on securing no less than three more signings this summer with bids for two of those he has targeted having already been accepted," reported on Caught OffSide on Saturday.
Kostas Manolas
The 23-year old Manolas has already agreed to an £8 million pound transfer fee, giving the Gunners a young defender who will likely fill the void left by former captain Thomas Vermaelen, who also completed a transfer to Spanish giant Barcelona on a £15m fee.

Minolas had an outstanding outing last season, helping Olympiakos win a domestic title in Greece. He also formed part of the team's superb defense, which set a record by allowing just 19 goals in 34 fixtures.
Adrien Rabiot
The 19-year old Rabiot is another key man that would provide option to Wenger's roster of excellent midfielders. According to source, Rabiot accepted a transfer fee worth £5.5 million pound after rejecting an extension offer from Paris Saint-Germain. Many pundits believed the teenager could grow into an elite player sooner than expected, making another potential star for the team.

Morgan Schneiderlin
Finally, the Gunners are ready to make a £22 million bid for 24 year old Morgan Schneiderlin of Southampton. From the three targets, Schneiderlin's status remains hanging because Southampton is reportedly trying to keep the box-to-box player from leaving the team.
However, there might be no stopping Schneiderlin from joining the Gunners because of his hunger to join an elite ballclub playing at the UEFA Champions League.
