With the Premier League title race now officially over, Arsenal can turn their attention to their summer plans. The Gunners are expected to be incredibly active yet again after Mikel Arteta admitted there is plenty of work to be done in order to prepare them for the Champions League.
"No," the Spaniard told football.london when asked about satisfaction on transfers, after he was rewarded with a contract extension until 2026 with the option to extend by a year last week. "At the level that we want no. We didn’t have the capacity to do that as well with the Europa League so it’s part of that evolution. We have made a lot of good steps and strong steps in that journey and we have to continue. That never ends. We want to be better and the rest will be better, then the margins will be higher and we have to start to live with those standards and improve and be smarter.
"That doesn’t mean only signing players. It’s to improve our own players. There are players that we haven’t had the best out of them this season. There are a few players where they haven’t had the minutes or the performances and we have to seek as well for those players to give us a different edge. It’s not only about signing players. It’s about resources and staff and improving certain things that can be done better or more efficiently or smarter."
