Mikel Arteta is set to be backed in the transfer market as he prepares Arsenal to compete for more silverware next season.
After winning the Premier League title and reaching the Champions League final for the first time in two decades, the Gunners believe they are ready to take the next step. The club’s hierarchy is determined to maintain that momentum and ensure the squad remains capable of competing at the highest level.
Arsenal’s players are eager to build on this season’s success, and the board is equally committed to strengthening the team where necessary. Preparations for the new campaign are already underway as the club looks to reinforce key areas of the squad.
Arteta identifies transfer targets
As he plans for the new season, Arteta has reportedly identified three players he would like to add to his squad. According to Fichajes, the Arsenal manager has asked the club to pursue Bradley Barcola, Dani Olmo and Tino Livramento this summer.
The trio are regarded as talented players with experience at the highest level, and each would offer different qualities that could enhance Arsenal’s options across several positions.
Barcola currently plays for PSG and, despite his talent, is not always a guaranteed starter, which could open the door to a potential move. Olmo remains an important player for Barcelona, while Livramento has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most promising full-backs at Newcastle United.
Arsenal seek further improvement
The report claims that Arteta sees all three players as ideal additions and believes they would significantly strengthen his squad ahead of next season.
Arsenal’s recruitment team will now assess the feasibility of any potential deals, with factors such as transfer fees, player availability and competition from other clubs likely to influence their plans.
The Gunners have made notable progress under Arteta and remain determined to build on their recent achievements. Strengthening the squad is viewed as an important part of maintaining their competitiveness across multiple competitions.
With expectations continuing to rise at the Emirates, Arsenal are expected to be active in the market as they seek to provide Arteta with the resources required to challenge for major honours once again next season.

In terms of priority,Barcola ,or another top quality LW, is a must.Unfortunately the injury to Ben White may well dictate a change of plan as far as recruiting a replacement RB is concerned.In any event is Livramento a cut above White?Personally I think not.As for Olmo,do we really need another AM when we already have Eze, Odegaard and Havertz.Perhaps Arteta intends to move on one of two of these guys with a view to signing Olmo,but to me we need an athletical box to box midfielder, rather than another no 10.
Personally think it’s time we moved on from odegaard,he’s been a brilliant servant but he’s not the player he once was .need to be ruthless.
The top target is Morgan Rogers?
I do hope you are right Reggie.He would add real pace and energy as our main AM as I do not see him as an out and out winger.Rogers,Barcola and Tonali are on my shopping list but we will have to unload a few players to keep our wages bill within acceptable parameters in relation to our income.
Ehm, it’s Fichajes, not exactly the most reliable source. Ornstein though confirms the renewed focus on strengthening the attack this window which I think we all knew already.
We know there’s interest in Barcola. From my PoV he would be an ideal addition to strengthen our LW, if he’s willing to join us.
Haven’t heard Olmo mentioned in a while, but I totally rate him. If we can get him for ~50M that could well be a huge signing. He is more of an attacker like Eze than a technical, tempo-dictator like Ødegaard, so if this rumour is true (and again it’s Fichajes, so you never know) that would seem to indicate more games with an attacking approach. Likewise if we snagged Morgan Rogers, though as much as I’d love to see that happen it might be tricky to get Unai to part with him when he has a Champion’s League campaign of his own to deal with, I suspect.
Tino Livramento – not for me, too many injuries. Rather keep White.
Tonali – Yes. Fills that Partey-sized hole perfectly and gives us another solid rotation option in midfield so we don’t burn out Zubi and Rice next season.
