Arsenal are preparing to make a major announcement next week as the club looks to strengthen the squad ahead of the upcoming season.
The Gunners have endured an underwhelming campaign by their recent high standards, falling behind in the Premier League title race. However, Mikel Arteta remains focused on the challenges ahead, particularly a crucial Champions League quarter-final clash against defending champions Real Madrid next month.
Despite injuries to key players, Arsenal opted not to make any signings in the January transfer window, a decision many have attributed to a lack of leadership at the executive level. Since Edu Gaspar’s departure in November, the club has been searching for an experienced sporting director, and reports indicate that they have reached an agreement with Andrea Berta, formerly of Atlético Madrid.
