Arsenal has already booked their spot for next season’s Champions League after amusing 75 points in 32 games with five matches to the end of the season. Arsenal might have lost the Premier League title to Manchester City after a 4-1 thrashing against Manchester City at the Etihad on Wednesday, 26 April.
Arsenal must reinforce various squad departments with Champions League football already in the bag. Their lack of squad depth was evident when Gabriel Jesus and William Saliba were injured. Arsenal losing the Premier League to Manchester City can partly be blamed on the injury of William Saliba, as his replacement Rob Holding has failed to impress.
The Gunners have also been linked with move West Ham captain Delan Rice and Moises Caicedo. But Arsenal might face massive competition from other Premier League clubs for the signature of Delan Rice and Moises Caicedo.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright, who visited the Arsenal training and chatted with Mikel Arteta and Edu, claims the duo is confident of luring the best players to the Emirates next season.
What did Ian Wright say?
He revved in an interview with The Athletic: “I went to the training ground the other day, and I was with Edu and Mikel, and what’s happening now at the club is we do not have to go out and cajole other people to come and join Arsenal.
“They can see what we’re doing. Edu is saying his phone is ringing off the hook, and they’re very confident about the caliber of player they’re going to sign.
“If you’re going to challenge this City team, you’re going to have to come correct.
“Ideally, we want to finish as high as we can — we want to win it — but I’m excited about the next phase.
“When you speak to Edu and Mikel, everything is about winning, man. They just want to win.
“And even with some of those games we drew it’s only because we were trying to win. It’s a new mentality. We’re trying to win games, we’re not trying to sit off and say, “Let’s hold onto this.””
Arsenal could go two points above Manchester City with a win over Chelsea on Tuesday evening. In the summer, Arsenal are expected to sign a right, a midfielder, a defender, and a natural number to complement their existing squad.
