Balogun, Tierney and the tough summer transfer decisions facing Mikel Arteta at Arsenal

After coming so tantalisingly close to a first league title in 19 years, Mikel Arteta will be wanting to get everything right this summer to ensure it wasn't a flash in the pan for Arsenal.

This will of course include heavy investment, as the Gunners are confident they can land their number one target and West Ham captain Declan Rice for a hefty fee. They are also pursuing Kai Havertz in an attempt to bolster the quality available in midfield ahead of a return to the UEFA Champions League.

With investment however must also come sales, without the financial aid some other teams in Europe benefit from. So, there are plenty of tough decisions to make this summer with players in demand such as Keiran Tierney and Folarin Balogun in particular.

But with the return to Europe's premier competition, Arsenal will need a squad that's capable of sustaining a challenge on four fronts which will need quantity and quality.

So, with that in mind, football.london is asking readers who they would keep or sell if they were in Arteta and Edu's shoes this summer.
