Arteta reveals summer transfer plan

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed that his side have a promising plan ahead of the summer transfer window.

"We have to seek excellence in everything that we touch and participate in so that it’s going to have a big impact at the club," said Arteta. "In order to do that, we have a really promising plan.

"We may have to reflect a little bit, take a step back, make sure this is the right one and go again with more determination and hunger in the tummies to do even better."

Declan Rice bid expected

Writing on Twitter, Romano said: "Arsenal have not changed their plans for Declan Rice as top target: opening bid to be submitted in June, waiting for West Ham to clarify final price tag.

"Nothing is agreed or done, race remains open. Other clubs are also interested; so timing will be crucial."

Edu's reply to bottling claim

Arsenal sporting director Edu has dismissed claims that Mikel Arteta's side 'bottled' the Premier League title.

“I think it needs a little more elaborate analysis", he told ESPN Brasil when asked about the accusation. "My role makes me need to understand the season as a whole.

"Perhaps in these last five games, we had a drop in performance, which was sustaining us to fight for the title and be fighting for the title was really the consistency of performance. From the moment we had this drop in performance, we have to understand why. This is already well understood by us.

“Saying Arsenal ‘bottled’ is a word I wouldn’t use, we created our own frustration. Nobody expected us to fight for the title. You being frustrated about not winning the title is a change of mind.

"It could even be considered, let’s say, positive, considering times ago. In the past, we celebrated the fourth place, the third. Today, we are frustrated with the second."
