Arsenal fans were sent into overdrive on Thursday afternoon with plenty of theories behind a potential big-money transfer in the summer. The Gunners have recruited smart in the past few windows, building a squad that can compete at the top once again, but they won't want to stop there.
Beyond this campaign is yet another and while fighting for the title is ideal, doing so on a consistent basis and across all competitions will be the aim of Mikel Arteta and the hierarchy. With plenty of young talent, there's room to grow into such a team, but there may be the need for added quality in depth.
"We have to be sustainable," Arteta told Sky Sports last season, underlining the plan in mind when it comes to squad building. "We have to perform now and we also need a plan for the medium and the long term. A lot of the decisions we have made over the last 18 months are because we had a big imbalance in certain areas that was putting the club in a difficult position."
