Arsenal set date for club-record signing talks as Edu takes first step in summer squad overhaul

Arsenal are set to hold talks with winger Nicolas Pepe at the end of the season with the record signing's future hanging in the balance ahead of a summer overhaul. Pepe has struggled for minutes as the Gunners chase down a place in next season's Champions League and could fall further down the pecking order.

Mikel Arteta and Edu are plotting a significant upgrade in the attacking department. While Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe have all impressed, there is little depth beyond the quartet and striking options are at a premium too.

Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah have all impressed in patches this season but as things stand, both forwards will leave when their contracts expire at the end of the season. A number of attackers have been linked with moves to the Emirates including Gabriel Jesus, Tammy Abraham and Marcus Rashford.
