Arsenal are set for yet another busy summer transfer window. The north London side currently find themselves fourth in the Premier League table, two points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who they play later this month. If Mikel Arteta's men are able to finish above Spurs they will secure a place in next season's UEFA Champions League - a competition they haven't qualified for in each of the last five years.
Qualifying for Europe's elite competition will undoubtedly have a huge impact on their transfer dealings whilst football.london understands that the Gunners are keen to sign at least one attacker, a central midfielder and a backup full-back at the end of the current campaign. According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Arsenal are interested in Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni as well as Bayern Munich winger Serge Gnabry, who used to ply his trade at the Emirates Stadium.
football.london also understands that Manchester City frontman Gabriel Jesus is one of the names on the club's transfer shortlist, with a £35million bid thought to be enough to land the Brazilian this summer and technical director Edu has held talks with the player's representatives in recent months. Meanwhile, CIES Football Observatory value Gnabry and Tchouameni at a combined €90million-€120million (£75million-£100million).
