Premier League Runner-Up Arsenal has a busy summer ahead, because Mikel Arteta wants to make the additions needed to compete again next season for the title
The busy summer of Arsenal is already in gear, while Mikel Arteta is looking for an improvement after a season with injuries. The Gunners were able to achieve a second place in the Premier League, but their points came considerably compared to the previous two campaigns.
There are clear areas of attention when we approach the opening of the transfer window. One of these is in the front, where injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus Arteta left out options at an important point in the season.
A new in -depth midfielder is also a priority, whether or not Thomas Pareny lingers. Martin Zubimendi looks like that man, and we have the last about the Spain International in today's round-up.
Arteta will also lose a few margin players. Kieran Tierney is on his way back to Celtic and Jorginho is flamengo-bound, while Neto and Raheem Sterling return to their parent clubs after a season in North London.
We also have the last of the other transfer goals of the Gunners, with potential to strengthen the team in all areas. Here are the latest rules of Mirror Football from the Stadium of Emirates.
Zubimendi on their way, next?
Arsenal has met Martin Zubimendi's release clause, with a £ 51 million relocation that now wants to be a matter of time. However, they will not stop there, with Leroy Sane remains a target.
Sane collaborated with Mikel Arteta in Manchester City and is supposed to stay on good conditions with the Spaniard. He is from the contract in Bayern Munich this summer, although the German champions did not fully give him up to convince him to get stuck.
According to The Times, Sane's agent would meet Bayern on Wednesday. The new range of the wing player is supposed to have a lower beam clone than its current deal, but including bonuses.
Man utd enthusiastic about Arsenal-linked Garcia
Espanyol -goalkeeper Joan Garcia has long been associated with Arsenal, but the Gunners seem reluctant to meet his £ 21 million release clause. That can leave the door open for colleague -freedom Barcelona, but they are not the only ones in the mix.
According to appropriate offside, Manchester United is preparing a late attempt to bring in Garcia while they want to discharge at least one keeper this summer. Barcelona, however, stays on hunting, just like Newcastle United, while the Spaniard could stay in place.
“I am very calm, and what decision should be made, I will certainly think a lot with my people and choose what will be best for me. And I am sure it will be,” Garcia said recently when he was asked to leave Espanyol for their local rivals.
Arsenal told what they get with Zubimendi
A former teammate of Martin Zubimendi has assured Rsenal that they will have a great person and a great football player. The midfielder finally seems to get his switch to the Premier League after sunovering Liverpool's interest to stay with Real Sociedad last summer.
“He was always a very complete player,” Benoit Cachenaut, who came through the ranks with Zubimendi at La Real, told Sky Sports. “Technical, fast, intelligent, powerful.
“You could already see that he had everything to get to the highest level. But also very well on the field, he was a very modest guy, always smiling, always very friendly.”
