Arsenal cannot underestimate the importance of the transfer decisions made at the club this summer. Edu and Mikel Arteta have successfully recruited expertly in recent years to bring themselves into the debate for football's biggest prizes and to remain at the pinnacle, navigating the summer window efficiently is crucial.
Adding a new defensive option and bolstering their midfield ranks are the obvious priorities, but who exactly they should bring in is not entirely clear. As football.london have reported since the end of the January transfer window, West Ham's Declan Rice is the summer priority. However, a massive decision made in the Premier League this past week along with an inch-perfect 90-minute performance should change that choice.
Moises Caicedo was the recipient of several bids from north London in January, all of which were unsuccessful before he signed a new Brighton contract the following month. Although reports have indicated that the relationship between the two clubs has been damaged, Arsenal should absolutely make Caicedo their new summer priority.
