Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is already gearing up for a busy summer transfer window. He has expressed that the club is actively seeking to improve in every department possible. However, the transfer activity will only pick up once Euro 2024 and the Copa America are over.
Despite being linked with several high-profile players in different areas of the pitch, Arsenal has not yet made any additions to their first-team squad since the transfer window opened three weeks ago. However, sources reveal that the club is working behind the scenes to strengthen and rejuvenate the team after another season without any major trophies.
Recent reports suggest that Arsenal is focusing on bringing in midfield reinforcements to provide competition and support for players like Declan Rice, Jorginho, Martin Odegaard, and Thomas Partey. The club is also on the lookout for a new center-forward and has shown interest in players like Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres, Newcastle's Alexander Isak, and Napoli's Victor Osimhen.
Left-back is another position that Arsenal is looking to improve, with Oleksandr Zinchenko having a tough season and Kieran Tierney likely to leave on a permanent basis after his loan spell at Real Sociedad.
When asked about the club's transfer plans, Arteta told ESPN that they are looking to improve in every department and that the new regulations and ongoing international tournaments have slowed down the process. However, he is hopeful that things will pick up soon.
The Spaniard also acknowledged that the current transfer market is tricky for all clubs to navigate. He believes that Arsenal has a clear plan and will be aggressive in their pursuit of targets, but it ultimately comes down to finding the right agreements at the right time.
As for integrating players back into the team after the international tournaments, Arteta has already done a lot of planning to ensure they are ready for the first game of the season against Wolves. He acknowledges that there may be some tweaks and adjustments needed, but he is confident that the players are excited and ready for the new season.
Speaking of the first game of the campaign, Arteta expressed his excitement for playing at home and the special atmosphere that comes with it. He believes that starting the season with a home game against Wolves will set the tone for the rest of the season. He also acknowledges that the Premier League is tough and every game will be a challenge, but the team is prepared for the tough schedule ahead.
In conclusion, Arteta and Arsenal are determined to improve and compete for trophies next season. The club is actively working behind the scenes to make necessary additions and the manager is confident in the team's preparation for the upcoming season. Fans can look forward to an exciting and challenging campaign with the Gunners.
