Mikel Arteta is already bracing for a big summer in the transfer market – even before the current window closes.
Arsenal -Baas Arteta wants to strengthen his forward options, but there are other large parts of the team he wants to revise. They have closed a deal for Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad with both Thomas Peny and Jorginho potential outputs this summer and they want to strengthen other departments.
Kieran Tierney is ready for Celtic, Oleksandr Zinchenko has attracted interest in this window with Jakub Kiwior also possible on the way to the outside. They can look for younger defensive coverage to mix in the team.
They did not succeed in landing a no.2 keeper last summer and received Neto on loan from Bournemouth and the reorganization will give them a room to bring in players without breaking their wage account.
Arsenal had a relatively quiet window last summer – she drew Mikel Merino, Riccardo Calafiori and also Raheem on loan – but this time it promises to be busier.
This month there have been left to a handful of players, most recently with Aston Villa Vooruit Ollie Watkins, where the Gunners made an £ 60 million bid that the club was rejected. Villa Baas Unai Emery has since confirmed that Watkins wants to stay and Arsenal is forced to look for a new attacker they need somewhere else after losing Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus to injuries.
Newcastle -striker Alexander Isak has also been a reported target, but Magpies -Baas Eddie Howe has insisted that his star star is not for sale.
In the meantime there have been a number of setbacks for Arsenal, after they have learned that the young Norwegian talent Sverre Nypan will remain in Rosenborg for the rest of the season, despite the Gunners who hold conversations. Arsenal also remained the departure of one of their smartest talents about ruining when Ayden Heaven left the Emirates to join Manchester United for a deal of four and a half years.
