If you want to watch a Premier League side play beautiful football, it is no longer a secret that Arsenal is the team to watch. This season, Mikel Arteta’s team has played some of the most exciting games in the Premier League.
Since the start of the season, the Arsenal, under Arteta’s guidance,have performed admirably, particularly in the league. Arsenal are regarded as the favourites to win the Premier League this season, owing to their consistent record of 19 victories, 3 draws, and 3 defeats in 25 games. This season, Arteta and his tactics have been unstoppable, and his squad has emerged from nowhere to being the real deal. If everything works as anticipated, Arsenal will be crowned champions.
Following that, Arteta may have a busy summer transfer window to mould his team into one that can retain the Premier League title and also compete in the Champions League next season. Looking at this Arsenal squad, if I were Arteta, I would sign in three positions to make sure that I can continue to be the real deal in the Premier League.
I will first consider bringing in a striker who can manage 25 or more goals a season, and for such a striker, I will go to Serie A and persuade Juventus to sell me Dusan Vlahovic for a reasonable fee.
Declan Rice will be the next midfielder to join the club after Vlahovic. With the midfield sorted, I’ll close the summer season by bringing in Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries; he and Saka on the right flank would be a nuisance to Premier League leftbacks.
Another thing I will not do is let Kieran Tierney go, and I will find a way to use Trossard’s versatility by having him fill in at either left or right wing as needed.
With that, I believe Arsenal will be competitive in the 2023–24 season. So, which transfer move do you believe I overlooked?

DANIEL it is NOT about “overlooking” transfer targets, but about being able,or not, to land the ones MA WISHES US TO GET.
Any dimwit can list a few targets of their own choice but it means nothing at all.
It is the art of the possible, not the art of mere WISHES, that determines whether or not we land the top players our manager wants for us.
I’m sure you’re smoking something to think that Kroenke will sanction buying two players – Rice and Vlahovic for £80m and €90m respectively. that’s closer to €200m fro two players. It will not happen here. I would rather be real and predict that we might do the following:
DM – Rice (£80m)
Striker – Balogun
Tierney – (stays). Except anyone is Willian to pay £50m
I believe we will definitely see a CM ,big money transfer going by what we were trying to do in January ,apart from that it’s anyone’s guess .
Just Rice as the one big money signing, most definitely not Vlahovic, and bring in one or two of the more successful loanees to see how they shape up pre-season(I think we’re doing a few games in the USA). I would expect some outgoings to help balance the books, but we do have a really good squad right now with plenty of goals throughout.
I just hope that we can get our first targets in early for next season. We keep having to reshuffle and adjust our aim, AFC is too big a club and so close to being something special, no more make-do signings, please
I don’t believe we will sign, or even want, any of those three.
I think there will be signings though, a young DM like Onana from Everton, possibly a back up AM/winger and Balogun to come back, job done.
I should have added the AM/winger back up could likely be Nelson. No need to splash the cash if you don’t need to.
Agreed ,what I’ve seen of Onana he has so much potential,I would take him over Rice all day long .
Vlohovic
Onana,
Zubimendi
An addition of the three players above would significantly strengthen the spine of the team, hence improving us immediately.
@GS, love your selection, Partey is really important to the team, I doubt Rice can fill Partey’s spot,
Replacing Partey could be tough, I can’t really find a player that defends and dribbles like Partey. Onana seems the closest, with some more training,he’ll do just right.
Vlahovic never wanted us, imo, let him be,
Calvert Lewis, if he can stay fit, he’s daring,
Onana,
Zubimendi
I would say we pretty much are the real deal in regards to the starting XI.
We need a younger world class central midfielder, given the ages of Xhaka and Partey (plus is injuries), but it’s mainly more depth in other positions.
Sergey Milinkovic-Savic
Denzel Dumfries/l
Dusan Vlahovic
