Arsenal face competition from Premier League rivals Newcastle for the signing of Juventus star Federico Chiesa. Mikel Arteta is looking to add a number of new signings to his squad ahead of next season.
football.london understands the Gunners are prioritising a move for West Ham captain Delcan Rice. However, Arteta wants to sign a new versatile forward and defender ahead of Arsenal's return to the Champions League next term.
The north Londoners are set to move on a number of players with the likes of Nicolas Pepe, Kieran Tierney and Granit Xhaka all expected to leave the Emirates Stadium. Xhaka is on the verge of completing a £13million move to Bayer Leverkusen, while Arsenal are prepared to teminate Pepe's contract one year early to get him off their wage books.
