Arsenal face huge Declan Rice decision amid Jude Bellingham transfer hope

Make no mistake, this summer is going to be a huge one for Arsenal. The Gunners are back in the Champions League for the first time in six years Mikel Arteta has already admitted that there's plenty of work for his side to do if they are to compete.

"At the level that we want no," the Spaniard told football.london when asked if he felt his side had enough to compete in both the Premier League and Champions League next season as things stand. "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."

Edu's work has already got underway. The Gunners are set to submit a bid for Declan Rice sooner rather than later after he claimed Europa Conference League success with West Ham earlier this week.
