The upcoming summer transfer window could determine the magnitude of Arsenal's success over the coming years. The Gunners may find themselves beaten to the Premier League title this season by Manchester City, but the progress made in the last 12 months should not be overlooked and with a successful summer transfer window, a prolonged stay at the top could be on the horizon.
The two main areas Mikel Arteta and Edu wish to strengthen is defence and midfield, with the latter as the priority. Declan Rice is the main target in the middle of the pitch, while Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi and Bayer Leverkusen stalwart Edmond Tapsoba are both options to recruit at the back, football.london understands.
The advancements towards the top of the Premier League this season look set to be reflected in the transfer market, with Arsenal full of belief they can now sign elite-level players on the up. The exact shift regarding how the transfer world has changed for the Gunners was best reflected by Ian Wright's story of what happened when he visited London Colney earlier this week.
