Unai Emery is happy with his current squad even if Arsenal fail to land Domagoj Vida on transfer deadline day, reports say.
The exit of Calum Chambers to Fulham on a season-long loan sparked rumours Arsenal could be about to move for a new centre-back.
Arsenal are considering whether to move for Vida after Besiktas quoted the London club £26.9million for the defender.

Arsenal did offer Besiktas a swap deal for Vida which would have seen either Danny Welbeck or David Ospina move in the opposite direction plus a transfer fee, but the Turkish club were not interested.
Ospina is in talks about a departure from the Emirates this summer and could join Besiktas, although that deal would be separate to any Vida agreement.
Arsenal need to raise some funds before lodging a formal bid and hope to sell Lucas Perez to West Ham in the next 24 hours.
The Evening Standard claim Emery has told Arsenal he is ‘content’ with the players at his disposal, but is waiting to see whether the club can agree a deal for Vida.
