Arsenal have a lot of work to do during the summer transfer window in order to secure the competition in the squad they need to mount a better title challenge on Manchester City. The gap between the two sides was evident on Wednesday as the champions ran out 4-1 winners on the night to secure control of the race for the top spot in the Premier League.
There is a need for upgrades in all areas of the field but after the injuries to William Saliba and Takehiro Tomiyasu, it has become evident that the defensive third is a specific place where investment will be needed. At right-back and right-sided centre-half, there’s room for improvement.
However, despite the January arrival of Jakub Kiwior, a left-sided centre-half, the Poland international could appear in for more fight than just starting option Gabriel Magalhaes. In the summer of 2022, Arsenal loaned out American international Auston Trusty and the defender has made an impression.
