Arsenal could bring in as many as seven new players in the summer transfer window after Mikel Arteta made his intentions for recruitment clear.
The Gunners shelled out over £150million in the summer transfer window to reinforce Arteta’s squad through the signings of Takehiro Tomiyasu, Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, Nuno Tavares, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Martin Odegaard. But it seems they will be busy once more, with plenty of movement expected in and out of the club again.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s departure in January could be followed by those of Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah, who are both out of contract in July, meaning signing at least two strikers is a priority, while a midfielder, a winger, a left-sided centre-back, a right-back and a left-back are also on the cards . Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit believes his old club need to back Arteta this summer to close the gap to the Premier League ’s top clubs.
