Mikel Arteta has been speaking out about Arsenal’s upcoming summer transfer window.
Arsenal’s transfer business has improved a great deal over the last couple of windows, but it is fair to say that their squad could still be improved upon.
So, Arsenal fans are no doubt pleased to hear Mikel Arteta stating recently that he wants to make the squad stronger:
“We want to make the squad stronger, we want to make the starting XI stronger, we want to make the specificity and the personality of our players stronger, and that’s what we are going to be seeking to do,” Mikel Arteta said.

Arteta was then asked if Arsenal will copy Liverpool by making two huge signings (like Virgil van Dijk & Allison for £142m), to which he responded: “I don’t think we are in a position where we can do that, so we have to find other ways to do it.”

Where do Arsenal need to improve?
The obvious area Arsenal will have to improve in this summer is centre-forward, where both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are due to leave for free in June.
Elsewhere, central midfield probably needs some more experience, whilst a younger back-up right-back option for Takehiro Tomiyasu is also needed.
