Arsenal could solve a major William Saliba problem that has been exposed in recent weeks involving Ben White and a new signing. Mikel Arteta has been forced to play Rob Holding for the Gunners' last six games with the effects of Saliba's absence extremely noticeable in the last four outings with Arsenal picking up just three points.
The summer transfer window will prove to be a pivotal period for Arsenal if they wish to turn a successful 2022/23 season into a period of dominance. Adding depth to certain positions is a must, while a mini-midfield overhaul also appears important, with West Ham's Declan Rice the main target this summer, as football.london understands.
A defensive addition or two is also likely needed with the first-choice back four crucial to Arteta's system. If any were to suffer a long-term injury, like Saliba has, it could greatly impact the style of play the Spaniard likes to deploy, as has been with the absence of the Frenchman.
