Arsenal Ready for Massive Summer Transfer Window, Says Arteta
Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta has vowed that this summer’s transfer window will be a “big one” for the north London club, with the team set to strengthen their numbers and make a bid for Premier League glory.
With the Gunners set to miss out on the title for the third consecutive year, Arteta has conceded that there were significant improvements required for his team. The club’s striker crisis, exacerbated by Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz’s long-term injuries, has highlighted the need for reinforcements in the attacking department.
Arteta’s comments come with Arsenal poised for a summer of change, with outgoing sporting director Edu departing the club and Andrea Berta coming in as his replacement.
The Italian will have a significant say in the Gunners’ transfer dealings, with the club having been linked to many high-profile targets, including RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko and Sporting’s Gyokeres.
“It’s going to be a big one, and we are very excited about it. We want to add depth to the squad, but also the quality and abilities that we need to make the next step,” the coach said.
Arteta also praised the arrival of Berta, saying: “I think Andrea is a big addition to the club, a big addition to the team. Every summer is big because it’s an opportunity, especially with the number of players we have in the squad right now that is necessary.”
The Arsenal manager emphasized how important it was to retain the good foundations of the club and improve and build the team further. “It’s a big summer for a lot of things. First of all, we have to maintain the good foundations that we have, and then obviously, how can we improve and evolve the team?”
With the summer transfer window fast approaching, Arsenal fans will be holding their breath to witness what the club will do in the market. Arteta’s comments suggest the Gunners are set to make a significant splash, and Berta’s appointment can signal the dawn of a new era of success for the north London outfit.
