Arsenal are set for a pivotal summer transfer window to build on from the major progress made in Mikel Arteta's project during the 2022/23 season. The Gunners shocked many by storming to the top of the Premier League table and remaining there for 240 days before ultimately being pipped to the title by Manchester City.
Following a superb campaign, owner Stan Kroenke looks set to reward Arteta with a hefty transfer budget which nears £200million. On top of monetary rewards for their Premier League finish which sealed Champions League qualification, the Gunners will also receive £41.8million to help fund their major transfer plans.
Signing Declan Rice from West Ham is the priority in that plan, as football.london understands, with West Ham likely to demand a full package deal worth over £100million. As per the Telegraph, Arsenal's first official offer will be worth a club-record £92million while Bayern Munich and Manchester United are continuing to monitor his situation.
