Mikel Arteta Arsenal
Arsenal are expected to be busy in the summer transfer window. In fact, manager Mikel Arteta has already confirmed this will be the case with his first-team squad in need of bolstering if they’re to balance competing in the Premier League and in Europe next season.
Mikel Arteta said: “I am expecting so, yes. I think both competitions [the Champions League and Europa League] require a much larger squad because the amount of games you play is much bigger in both, so I don’t think [which you qualify for] makes a lot of difference or changes a lot. If you can financially afford it and we don’t have to do the turnaround in the squad that we’ve had to do, if you ask me what I want it’s 22 outfield players and three goalkeepers. You have to come a long way in the aspects that you see on the pitch, it’s a lot of things that have to be put in place, and that takes time.”
