Arsenal are reportedly expected to be busy once again in the summer window as Mikel Arteta further wants to bring in more quality players to the side.
Over the past few transfer windows, the north London club spent big money on adding top-quality players, and they have assembled a squad capable of challenging for all major trophies.
Arteta has already confirmed that he expects Piero Hinacapie's loan deal from Bayer Leverkusen to be converted into a permanent move this summer, but there could be more additions.
Fabrizio Romano has suggested on YouTube that Arsenal are almost guaranteed to sign a new midfielder this summer, but they could also look to add a winger and a right-back to their squad.

The Gunners have a wealth of options in midfield, but Arteta probably is looking to bring in a defensive midfielder to work alongside Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi.
The transfer expert has suggested that Arsenal considered some midfielders in January, and they could revisit those targets after the end of the season.
Romano further adds that the north London club could also look to bring in a young right-back to their squad, while they could also add players in wing positions.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said: “One thing I can guarantee is that Arsenal will work on eventually midfielders in the summer. We know for example some of the names, some of the options they already considered in January … so Arsenal are looking at some options.
“But I can tell you that one of the priorities in the summer transfer window for Arsenal, I think a bit underrated in this moment, in terms of media, could be also to add a younger right-back to the squad.
“So Arsenal are also considering the possibility to do something not just in midfield, but could be also at right-back position and also on the winger position. So Arsenal are going to be active in the summer transfer window.”

During the January transfer window, Arsenal reportedly made an attempt to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, who will become a free agent in a few months time.
Goreztka wants to finish the 2025-26 campaign with Bayern and then leave for free, and there are suggestions that he is open to moving to the Premier League.
In recent months, Arsenal have been linked with a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Mateus Mane, but they face strong competition from other Premier League rivals, such as Liverpool.
The Gunners could also show interest in Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, but they will need a pay a handsome fee to lure him away from St James' Park.
