Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu will be making plans for what is shaping up to be yet another busy summer of transfer activity with plenty of incomings, as well as outgoings, expected.
Currently well placed to seal a return to the Champions League after a six-year absence, the Gunners could be back at Europe's top table next season as Premier League champions - for the first time in almost two decades - but they have a tough task of fending off Manchester City's challenge in the run-in.
Regardless of whether or not Arsenal manage to win English football's biggest prize, based on their performances against Sporting CP in the Europa League round of 16 ties, it's evident that Arteta will need to improve the quality beyond his strongest XI in order to compete both domestically and in Europe next season.
