Arsenal’s grandiose project under Mikel Arteta is nearing completion and the club’s willingness to spend big to get there is expected to hit new heights this summer. Inside sources confirm Arsenal’s steadfast commitment to developing a group capable of competing for Premier League and Champions League titles.
Arteta and Edu are Leading the Charge
The Gunners have meticulously crafted a competitive roster over the past three seasons aiming to secure long-term success. Despite recent setbacks against Aston Villa and a narrow Champions League exit to Bayern Munich and Arsenal remain firmly in the Premier League title race.
Now, they’re poised to take the final step. Arsenal’s impressive Champions League run has bolstered their transfer coffers with UEFA prize money adding around €92.5 million (£79 million) to the budget. This along with Premier League earnings and expected player sales (including Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson, Cedric Soares and others) puts them in a position to surpass last summer’s massive investment.
Gyokeres the Top Target, Rice Still in the Mix
Sporting CP’s star striker Viktor Gyokeres is Arsenal’s top summer priority with the Gunners prepared to smash their current club-record transfer fee. Declan Rice is also a significant target with Arsenal leading the race despite the high price tag demanded by West Ham United.
Rice’s Future
Even though he thinks highly of Ars, he knows that getting a deal with West Ham will be difficult. According to rumours West Ham could demand up to £100 million plus add-ons while Arsenal could be willing to negotiate as high as £90 million to ensure Rice becomes one of their top earners.
However, if negotiations stall rivals like Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City could enter the fray which complicating the Gunners’ pursuit.
