This summer is, by Mikel Arteta's own admission, going to be the most "crucial" yet in his time in charge of Arsenal. The Gunners have overseen a massive squad overhaul over the past two seasons which has led them to a point where they were able to push Manchester City for the Premier League title this season.
After ultimately coming up short though, Arteta has admitted that his side need to improve their level if they're going to compete in both the Premier League and Champions League next season. "I know we’re not at that level, but we have to find a way," the Spaniard said after Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. "This is not enough."
As he seeks to do that, it's no secret that players like Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo are on the radar. More recently though, two even higher profile names have been heavily linked.
