Alongside any further incomings, there are expected to be some fringe players leaving Arsenal before the transfer window closes on 1 September.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson said: “Arsenal do not need to sell.
“I think a lot of teams want to sell high-earning players, who are on the fringes of their teams.
“That will apply to Arsenal as much as it will apply to Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and the other teams who have got these high earners that are on the fringes of the squad.
“On the other side, I think we’re into the realms now where Arteta has very limited excuses for the season, given the way they’ve spent this summer.”
