Arsenal clinched the signing of South Korea striker Chu Young Park and were linked with several big money moves as transfer deadline day loomed Tuesday.
The Gunners, humiliated 8-2 by Manchester United Sunday in the English Premier League, have money to spend after the sales of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri.
The 26-year-old Park leaves relegated Monaco for north London after manager Arsene Wenger moved late to sign the South Korean captain for a reported fee of $8 million.
Park, who has scored 25 goals in 91 appearances for the club formerly managed by Wenger, was delighted by the move.
"It is a dream to be here and I am really proud to be an Arsenal player," he told their official website.
Arsenal, who need to strengthen their defense, have been linked with a move for German international Per Mertesacker from Werder Bremen.
Mertesacker was given permission to leave the German national squad to fly to London for a medical with the deal set to be completed on deadline day Wednesday.
