Pepe decision, Bellerin call: Players Mikel Arteta could allow to leave Arsenal this summer

Mikel Arteta has already hinted that this summer is going to be a busy one for Arsenal. The Gunners finished fifth place in the Premier League this season, just two points off the Champions League places. When asked what the club were planning to do to bridge that gap, Arteta was clear.

"We want to take the club to the next level," the Spaniard said in his press conference ahead of the final game of the season against Everton. "That's the ambition. In order to do that we have a very clear plan again, how we want to do it and execute it, and there are no secrets. We need resources and we need to increase the quality and the depth of the squad."

Arsenal are targeting a striker, with Manchester City's Gabriel Jesus thought to be the main target, while central midfielder Youri Tielemans and full back Aaron Hickey have both been linked. However, as much as getting the right players in is going to be important this summer, moving the correct ones on is also going to be key.
