The summer transfer window is officially open! Well, only partially, but nevertheless it's expected to be a busy one for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta and technical director Edu have a lot of work to get through over the next 11 weeks.
From today (June 10), the Gunners can register any signings they make from fellow Premier League and Scottish teams, but they have to wait until July 1 to finalise any dealings with French, Italian, Spanish and German clubs, for example, as that's when the international transfer window opens.
Last summer Arsenal spent big and almost qualified for the Champions League. If they're to re-establish themselves as a top-four side next season Arteta must be backed in the transfer market once again and the Spaniard has already outlined his plans to club owner Stan Kroenke.
