The Gunners have one more week to finish their signings and outgoings for this summer transfer window and are trying to conclude deals for Partey and Aouar.
In the case of Partey, Atletico Madrid have informed Arsenal to trigger his 50 million euro release clause or walk away. The London side are trying to ship some players out to get enough money for his transfer.
For Lyon playmaker, Aouar, the Gunners are currently negotiating with Lyon according to reports and will make an offer of just over 40 million euros for him.
"There is a week to go. I think it is going to be really busy for all the clubs because not much business has been done, so let's see what happens," Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta told the media after the Liverpool game.
Arsenal have until 5th October before the transfer window closes.
