Arsenal handed double transfer update as two Premier League bosses quizzed on Gunners 'targets'

Arsenal will be looking to add new signings this summer after missing out on the Premier League table, but standout players are never easy to sign. That’s something managers of other clubs have highlighted after the final day of the Premier League season.

The Gunners have already been linked with a whole host of players ahead of the summer, with Mikel Arteta hoping to land a new forward, while it’s likely other areas will also be upgraded. While Arsenal have been excellent this season, they have still come up short to Manchester City, and that only highlights the fact that no team can compete with this historic City side without significant and consistent spending.

One player Arsenal have been linked with is Crystal Palace star Michael Olise, and Eagles boss Oliver Glasner was asked about the winger’s future after Sunday’s season finale. “That’s always the challenge for a club like us," he told Sky Sports. "But I know the club is working hard to keep all the players and what we could do is show them that we are ambitious and where the journey can go, that they can play their football, they can express themselves and they can show all their qualities.

“We can also laugh together and have fun on the training grounds and in games. This is what we show them and we’ll see what happens, but I think Crystal Palace with these fans and this team is a good place for them to stay.”

Elsewhere, Brentford frontman Ivan Toney has been relentlessly linked with a move from West to North London, although it’s not clear how much Arsenal are willing to spend on a new striker. In the meantime, Brentford boss Thomas Frank has said: "Toney? I'd like to keep him. There are a lot of rumours. I understand them because he's a top player. But for now he's a Brentford player. Let's see what's going to happen."
