Arsenal have been crowned Premier League champions for the 2025/26 season, but Mikel Arteta's relentless pursuit of glory is unlikely to stop here.
While the dream target of winning the league has been achieved, and perhaps even surpassed with a Champions League final still to come, the Gunners have already outlined their plans to become the next big dynasty in the division and to do that, they need to keep winning.
This summer is likely to see Arsenal's sporting director, Andrea Berta, push the limits of what is possible with a squad in terms of strength and quality in depth.
That may mean waving goodbye to some old favourites within the team, while bringing in some players that may only take the North London side to the next level.
So, with that said, here's a look at how Arsenal could line up next season with £240 million worth of additions in the summer transfer window.
Sandro Tonali (Newcastle United) - £70m

Sandro Tonali has been linked with a move to Arsenal for a fee in the region of £70 million this summer, having previously been rumoured with a move to the Emirates Stadium late in the January window.
With Newcastle missing out on Europe, the need to raise funds will be there, and the Italian midfielder is among one of the key players who could now be available.
The 26-year-old is an engine in the central ranks, having played 53 games for the Magpies this season, only missing two games through a minor injury during the campaign.
There is plenty of on-ball quality to go with his off-ball tenacity, which will appeal to someone like Arteta, while he has experience of winning the Serie A and Carabao Cup in his career so far.
Given the minutes that Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi have had to play this season, rotating in a player like Tonali would ease their workload while adding even more quality for the big moments.
Eli Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth) - £80m

If Arsenal want to finish off games quicker, then perhaps the recruitment team will dip back into the striker market for another option to bolster the frontline.
With injuries for both Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus for much of the season, Viktor Gyokeres has been eating up the minutes, and if next season is the same then there may be concerns.
That's where a move for Eli Junior Kroupi comes in, as Arsenal have been linked with an £80 million switch for the Bournemouth star.
This campaign has been the 19-year-old's debut in the Premier League, and he has been in some excellent form with 13 goals in 32 appearances for the Cherries.
With plenty of quality for the here and now, combined with promise for the future, Kroupi could be the next player in the Arsenal frontline who takes the squad to the next level.
Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid) - £90m

Julian Alvarez is set to be one of the most coveted forwards heading into the summer transfer market, with Barcelona and PSG heavily linked with a possible deal.
So too have Arsenal, with reports claiming that Atletico Madrid will demand £90 million for the Argentina international, if clubs are willing to make an offer.
It would certainly be an attractive move for Arteta, with Premier League experience, the ability to play as a striker and on the left, as well as a record of 20 goals and nine assists this season across all competitions.
There's another link in Berta being the man who signed Alvarez for Atletico to begin with, clearly showing there is some understanding of how good he is and can be.

With those three additions, Arsenal could look a scary prospect, both on the pitch with the starting lineup, and on the bench with the options who could make a difference.
The starting XI could look like this: David Raya; Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori; Sandro Tonali, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze; Bukayo Saka, Eli Junior Kroupi, Julian Alvarez.
With a squad now freed from the hauntings of Premier League title challenges gone past, there may be a freedom, an arrogance, and a swagger to this Arsenal team that hasn't been seen in full flow yet.
There may be fear for rivals in how much better the Gunners could get, and there may be some signings who may only take them to the next level.
