Arsenal's summer transfer plans continue to gather momentum as Andrea Berta works alongside Mikel Arteta to strengthen the squad.
The Gunners have been linked with a number of high-profile names in recent weeks, with the club determined to add the extra quality needed to retain their Premier League crown.

One player who continues to feature prominently in transfer discussions is Morgan Rogers.
The Aston Villa star has enjoyed a remarkable rise over the past two seasons and is believed to be admired by several of England's biggest clubs.
Arsenal are among those credited with a serious interest, with Rogers viewed as a versatile attacking player capable of operating in multiple positions across the frontline.

His ability to carry the ball, create chances and contribute goals/assists has made him one of the most sought-after young talents in the country.
Elsewhere, Arsenal's search for attacking reinforcements has seen several other names emerge.
The club have continued to be linked with wide forwards capable of adding greater competition on the left-hand side, while there remains a desire to increase the squad's overall creativity and unpredictability in the final third.

Arsenal have already agreed to sign their own version of Morgan Rogers
Morgan Rogers has emerged as one of Arsenal's top targets this summer.
Real Madrid's Arda Güler is also reportedly back on their radar, but it will be tough to convince Los Blancos to sell the Turkish sensation after his stellar season at the Bernabeu.
Rather than targeting large numbers of signings, Arsenal are focused on players who can genuinely improve the starting eleven and immediately raise the level of competition within the squad.

One of Arteta's long-standing dream targets appears to be back on the agenda too.
Arsenal given fresh Nico Williams transfer hope
According to TEAMtalk transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey, Arsenal have received encouragement in their long-winded pursuit of Athletic Club winger Nico Williams.

The report states that people close to the Spain international have directly told Arsenal he would be keen to test himself in the Premier League if the right opportunity presented itself.
That development is likely to attract attention inside the Emirates.
Williams has been admired by Arsenal for a considerable period, spanning two years, and his performances for both club and country have only strengthened his reputation.
Fabrizio Romano reported last summer that Arteta believes the 23-year-old is 'perfect' for his side, but Williams eventually ended up signing a new long-term £165,000-per-week deal with Bilbao, including a release clause worth up to £87 million.

The winger possesses the pace, directness and technical ability that make him one of the most dangerous wide players in European football.
Importantly, Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta reportedly views Williams as one of a small group of players capable of genuinely upgrading the club's options on the left flank.
That is a significant endorsement.
Arsenal are not short of quality in wide areas, meaning any potential signing would need to offer something special.
Williams' ability to stretch defences, beat opponents one-on-one with his electric pace and create opportunities in difficult situations makes him an attractive option.

He is also entering what many consider to be the prime years of his career.
Of course, completing a deal would not be straightforward.
Williams remains one of the most highly-rated attackers in Spain and there is expected to be competition for his signature should he become available, with Liverpool, Man City and Man United all keen as well.
Financial considerations would also play a major role in any negotiations.
However, the latest update suggests Arsenal may have been handed an important boost.
The possibility of playing in the Premier League appears to appeal to the winger, and Arsenal's long-standing admiration has never disappeared.
