Report identifies six targets as Arsenal ‘plot’ summer transfer mass incomings and exodus

Arsenal are now in a commanding position in the top-four race and could be flying if they can take advantage of their games in hand.

The Gunners are now a point ahead of Manchester United, and they still have three matches in hand still to play.

Champions League football for next season is far from guaranteed, but it is now looking likely, and new signings will be required.

While the Gunners have impressed this season, they will need to be stronger to make a run in Europe’s biggest and best competition.

And as Arteta and his staff weigh up potential new signings, we have rounded up the latest rumours.

A busy summer ahead

Arsenal are said to be eyeing a squad overhaul of sorts this summer, despite their impressive performances of late.

The Gunners already have the upper-hand in the top four race, but as they look to compete in the Champions League, new signings will be on the to-do list.

And according to the Evening Standard, Arteta is eyeing up to six new signings, and Alexander Isak, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jonathan David and Darwin Nunez are all named as potential targets.

Lacazette still has interest

The future of Alexandre Lacazette remains up in the air as we head towards the summer,

Lacazette is out of contract this summer, and Arteta has said discussions won’t happen until the summer as Arsenal focus on the top four battle.

The Frenchman has netted five goals this season, and according to CalcioMercato, Italian giants Juventus are interested in signing the striker on a free transfer this summer.

Two likely exits

Arsenal are said to want to offload two senior players during the summer transfer window.

According to football.london, Hector Bellerin, who is currently on loan with Real Betis, and Ainsley Maitland-Niles, who is with Roma, are both on the chopping block.

Whether those two players will join their current loan clubs is another question, but it’s claimed Arsenal will seek to offload them one way or another.
