As the season appears set to end in disappointment, most Arsenal fans have begun to console themselves by turning their attention to the more exciting prospect of summer transfers. The Gunners 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on Monday means that they now need an unlikely miracle on the final day of the season to secure Champions League football for 2022/23.
In order to finish in the top four they will need to beat Frank Lampard 's Everton side and hope that Tottenham lose to already-relegated Norwich. Mikel Arteta has tried to put a brave face on it by saying "we know that in football anything is possible," but it does seem highly likely that his side will be playing Europa League football next season.
We were at least given a showing of what that will look like as Arsenal released their brand new home kit for the upcoming 2022/23 season on Thursday. And now it seems that that new strip may have also dropped a hint on the summer transfer business that they are set to do.
