Mikel Arteta Faces Key Arsenal Transfer Decisions Ahead of Busy Summer

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is preparing for a crucial summer transfer window, with key decisions looming over both incoming and outgoing players.

Strengthening the attack and midfield remains a priority for Arteta and incoming sporting director Andrea Berta, while several departures are also expected.

The past two transfer windows have been relatively quiet for Arsenal, with last summer focused on improving squad depth rather than making marquee signings. That approach saw Riccardo Calafiori and Mikel Merino join the club, both of whom have contributed not only in their primary roles but also with crucial goals.

With injuries sidelining Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus, Merino has recently been deployed in a more advanced role. However, with Havertz and Jesus as Arsenal’s main striking options, the need for a more clinical, natural finisher has become increasingly clear.
