Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has said he and his recruitment team will have to make "tough decisions" when it comes to the transfer market this summer. The Gunners are gearing up for a huge few months as the next window looms, with some key areas that need to be strengthened.
The plan will be to close the gap to Manchester City, who currently lead the north London outfit by two points in the title race, while creating long-term success. There's also Champions League football to throw into the mix after the club confirmed their return to the top European competition last month.
When asked if he was proud of the progress made so far, Arteta told the press: "Yes, but that’s what I started saying that I am incredibly proud and thankful for what everyone has contributed to bring Champions League football back to this football club with five, six games to go, something that hasn’t happened in over a decade in this club. So congratulations and thank you so much for everyone who has contributed to that and thank you for still being upset and not accepting that the Champions League is not enough and we want more. Because this squad is going to demand to get where we want."
