Arsenal are on the cusp of completing two major summer deals as they close on Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber.
The pair are set to cost the Gunners close to £150m and more arrivals could yet follow them. Mikel Arteta is looking to build on a promising season with the club also returning to the Champions League, which will place further demands on their resources.
Last term Arteta chose to work with a relatively small squad but injuries quickly took their toll, especially in defence. Several names are expected to leave, Granit Xhaka among them, leaving Arsenal in need of players who can make a major impact in the first-team.
