With the 2022/23 season nearing its conclusion, naturally eyes are shifting to the summer transfer window and what business Arsenal should get done.
If it's anything like the January window where Leandro Trossard, Jakub Kiwior and Jorginho were brought in and Albert Sambi Lokonga, Cedric Soares and Marquinhos were allowed to depart, albeit only on loan, then a busy summer is in store for Gunners supporters.
In fact, there has already been talk of potential incomings as well as outgoings as Kieran Tierney is being linked with an exit after slipping behind Oleksandr Zinchenko in the left-back pecking order and Folarin Balogun could depart permanently after impressing on loan at Reims this season.

Now, with Pablo Mari's £5.9m move to Monza all but done as the Italian side avoided relegation from Serie A, two other Arsenal moves currently in the pipeline revolve around fellow loan army members Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Charlie Patino who are expected to leave this summer.
But what about incomings? As the Gunners will be in the Champions League next season, manager Mikel Arteta will need to assemble a squad that can challenge in Europe as well as last the distance in the Premier League and perhaps enjoy a run in one of the domestic competitions.
Many fans have their idea of what would represent a dream transfer window for the north London outfit this summer and football.london's Arsenal Writers Kaya Kaynak and Tom Canton are no different.
On the latest episode of the 'View From The Clock End' podcast, following the 3-1 win over Chelsea on Tuesday night, Kaya and Tom outlined three ideal signings, agreeing on Declan Rice - who football.london understands is a priority target for the club - and Moises Caicedo before offering a differing opinion with regard to the final option.
For Kaya, a right-sided central defender should be at the top of Arsenal's shopping list and therefore he thinks Bayer Leverkusen's Edmond Tapsoba, previously linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, is worth splashing the cash on.
"I clearly think after last night that Arsenal need a right-sided centre-back to bridge the gap between William Saliba and whoever it is that comes in. Kiwior looked pretty good but he's left-footed so he naturally plays balls infield and I was looking at the pass combinations from last night, his biggest pass combination was Gabriel as he kept playing back across that side of the pitch.
"Marc Guehi is a player Arsenal are interested in and they're looking at and Edmond Tapsoba is another player. They've looked at him in the past, I like Tapsoba but he'd be very expensive. I like those two, essentially it needs to be someone who is good on the ball."
As for Tom, he feels signing a right-back would be ideal: "I look at right-back more than I do right centre-back because it opens up Ben White being a potential option to cover for Saliba. I've done a lot of extensive research on [Ivan] Fresneda who I like and think is a really good option, I think he fits the mold of what Arteta wants from a full-back."
