A frustrating, the 2024/2025 Arsenal season was not easy. Disappointing in the national cuts with a semi-final of Carabao Cup and a quick release in FA Cup, the Gunners were also eliminated from the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain (1-0/2-1). The London club also did not keep the pace imposed by Liverpool in the Premier League. Second, Arsenal must still give a last necklace to keep its rank and validate its qualification for the next Champions League but it is in very good track. The objective now is to prepare for the next exercise and the summer will be agitated to believe coach Mikel Arteta: “When we go back, we want to increase the depth of the workforce, the quality and the skills we need to take the next step.»»
A powerful message that announces that Arsenal will not hesitate to put the means to strengthen. Sometimes a little fair, especially in the offensive sector (66 goals scored, 4th Attack on the Premier League), Arsenal intends to add quality and density to its workforce. An element seems close to arriving in the midfield, it is Martin Zubimendi (26 years old) who evolves at Real Sociedad. If Arsenal will therefore have an eye on the side of Spain for the transfer window where Joan Garcia (24) The Guardian of the Espanyol de Barcelona is also targeted, the Gunners will also turn to Portugal.

While the loan from Raheem Sterling is disappointing and he has not convinced as a lining of Bukayo Saka, the versatile Francisco Trincão which can also play on the left is a credible option.
