Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has called for the Saudi Pro League transfer window to close in line with Europe's - but refused to rule out selling players beyond September 1.

Some of football's top names have made the move to Saudi Arabia this summer as PIF investment in four of the country's top clubs has allowed for a vast increase in transfer fees.
