Arsenal are preparing for a busy summer transfer window as Edu aims to bolster Mikel Arteta's squad ahead of the new season. While the Gunners did impress in the previous campaign, they could not finish in a Champions League spot as they narrowly missed out to north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
It means they will have to settle for a return to the Europa League, adding extra fixtures to their schedule that wasn't a problem before. That said, Arteta will likely be relishing a return to continental football after a spell without it.
The challenge next season will be to go one further and confirm a place in the Champions League, all while being competitive in cup competitions. Plenty of exciting players have been linked with a move, and with that in mind, football.london takes a look at the latest news and transfer rumours.

Serge Gnabry
Gnabry has been linked with a move to Arsenal but the German winger has hinted at a desire to move to Real Madrid instead: “I would go directly to Bernabeu and look at everything closely,” AS quoted him as telling GQ when asked about visiting the Spanish capital.
“Unfortunately, I haven’t played there yet. After that, I would definitely spend some time in the city and try to explore the most beautiful corners.”
Nahuel Molina
Udinese director Pierpaolo Marino has admitted that reported Arsenal target Nahuel Molina will be difficult to keep this summer. Speaking to Tuttosport, he said: “Molina...is a player who, due to the interest he is attracting in Italy and abroad, will be difficult to keep.”
Gabriel Jesus
Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus, according to TuttoJuve. The report claims that Spurs have offered €47 million (£40.20 million) for the Brazilian international, who is on Arsenal's shortlist ahead of the summer transfer window.
