Arsenal reportedly look set to show huge faith in manager Mikel Arteta with the green light to embark on a major spending spree in this summer’s transfer window.
The Gunners have performed well beyond expectations this season, posing a serious title challenge to Manchester City and securing a second place finish that sees them return to the Champions League for the first time since 2016.
It now seems that Arteta will be given the funds he needs to help close the gap on Man City, with the Times reporting that this could be a record-breaking transfer window for Arsenal as they go after big names like Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo.
The report suggests the West Ham and Brighton midfielders will cost a combined £170m, while further money could be brought in from player sales to help fund potentially over £200m’s worth of spending.
This is the ambition Arsenal fans will want to see from their club, and revamping the midfield with top talents like Rice and Caicedo could go a long way to helping this side go a step further in next year’s title race.
Arsenal could also let a long list of current first-team players go in a major shake-up of Arteta’s squad, with the Times naming the likes of Granit Xhaka and Emile Smith Rowe as potential departures.
Xhaka yes smith rowe no he’s young and a lot of potential and arsenal to the bone,and homegrown
Unlikely that Xhaka or ESR will leave. More likely is players like Holding, Turner, Nelson. We need to replace the fringe players not Xhaka who still has a lot to give. And ESR has clearly been told to take his time with his groin injury recovery which has plagued him apparently for 5 odd years. So this season was a write off but he will be back. The other players they are looking to move on are those out on loans like AMN, Torrieria, Mari, Guendouzi and Taveres and of course Pepe.
We have already sold Torriera & Guendouzi, they are not out on loan.
Arsenal needs both caicedo & Rice alonside Zaha in attack and Mount or Madison or Macalister or better off Gavi
we don’t need zaha wish arsenal fans would leave that link alone
ESR is injury prone let’s hope he comes through with his groin injury then he will be like a new signing
I agree 100%
Pls Viera should be included in the list of outgoing players. Put simply, he should be sold. Viera is lightweight and there are players in the academy that could even match or outperform him, even now. This is my honest opinion!
You very right Anselm, we don’t need him in this Team.
also agree.
Both Rice & Caceido are priorities. Get rid of all fringe players and there are at least 6-7 not good enough. Then we have to bring in somebody like Cancelo at right back and a beast up front like Osimen or Vlahovic
Xhaka is the backbone of Arsenal. They need is stature.
I prefer we sign one of them then we add a taller CF, I see jesus rotating out wide eventually.
