An important summer is on the horizon for Arsenal as the main task is to ensure Mikel Arteta has a squad capable of winning major silverware next season.
Of course, the summer transfer window will be used to aid the Gunners manager in completing this particular mission. His priority signing, as football.london understands is West Ham United captain Declan Rice, and a formal bid is expected to be submitted shortly now that the Europa Conference League final has taken place.
Other names being linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium include Brighton & Hove Albion's Moises Caicedo, Real Valladolid wonderkid Ivan Fresneda as well as Manchester City pair Joao Cancelo and Ilkay Gundogan, with the latter potentially available for a free transfer with his contract expiring at the end of the month.
