Are Arsenal now in need of TWO new defenders?

Can Arsenal afford not to sign two defenders (one left back) this summer, given the latest developments? I do not think they can.

According to Football Insider, Arsenal is already planning to let Oleksander Zinchenko go since they are reportedly looking for a suitable replacement.

We expect the Ukrainian to join Bayern Munich, where he will play under his ex-teammate Vincent Kompany. Not many Gooners would be opposed to Zinchenko leaving; his struggles at left back last season have labelled him untrustworthy, and recruiting another elite left back is due this summer.

Arsenal may need a top central defender in addition to a left back. Yes, there has been debate about getting a backup for William Saliba, but with Jakub Kiwior, Jurrien Timber, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Ben White available, such a move was not necessary. However, according to rumours, AC Milan sees Jakub Kiwior as their number one priority this summer and is high on their wishlist.
