Although the Premier League season has rather extinguished for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta, the future remains brilliant for a football club which is still increasing.
Of course, they will be disappointed with the way they fell behind Liverpool in the race for the title, but their remarkable 3-0 victory against Real Madrid last week sent a message around the continent that the Gunners are a powerful team, even when they are not at full power.
Last week, Declan Rice’s franc heroism made sure that Arteta’s men go to Bernabeu this week in pole position to seal a place in the semi-finals.
However, they managed to do it without Kai Havertz and Gabriel, only making the realization even more incredible.
This result was one of the largest that the Emirates have ever been and the new sports director, Andrea Berta, must certainly rely on this during the summer. It could have been just the message that his different transfer targets needed.
Arsenal summer transfer plans
The biggest priority for Berta this summer will be to strengthen the front line.
Alexander Isak is dream acquisition but would have been estimated at around 150 million pounds sterlingThis makes any case quite impossible to conclude.

Consequently, Viktor Gykerres de Sporting could be the player to which they turn with David Ornstein of athletics which reports a few weeks ago It is the main target.
However, they can also strengthen themselves in the midfield with Ornstein providing the last on their pursuit of Martin Zubimenddi from Real Sociedad during the weekend.
Speaking on the Podcast Athletic, he admitted that Arsenal “expects to sign the Spanish midfielder in summer, having done a lot of work on a possible transfer.
A movement could cost in the region of 51 million pounds sterlingThe release clause in the Zubimendi contract at Real.
How Zubimenddi would integrate in the Arsenal midfielder
At the end of the season, the contracts of Thomas Partey and Jorginho will expire, hence Arsenal’s desire to sign a new midfielder.
Jorginho – Now just a bit of the team – will not be a huge lack on the ground, but it is sure to say that the Gunners can miss a little more party.
He has proven his value, in particular in recent weeks, offering an out -of -competition performance against Real Madrid last Tuesday and marking against Brentford on Saturday evening.
During this fascinating victory on the Carlo Ancelotti team, no midfielder ended his passes at a more successful pace than 93.8% of Party. In addition, only William Saliba on both sides finished more races.

That said, in ZubiMendi, they will not report a replacement for Party. It only ranks in 57% of field environments in the Big Five in Europe leagues for progressive races.
Instead, they would replace the role of Jorginho as a tempo-setter and conductor of play. Zubimendi ranks among the 7% of the best fields in the field In Europe for the keys in the defensive penalty surface and the most important 16% for the plated in the third striker, indicating that he likes to be short to the defense, but also that he likes to press the top.
Consequently, this transfer is likely to mean that the days of Rice as a Rice midfielder are numbered. Although it may have looked like a bad thing at the start of the season, the idea of placing Zubimenddi alongside the club’s record signature is salivary.
Indeed, Rice did a lot of his best work in role No. 8 this season, playing further and impacting matches in the last third.
His offensive features improve all the time and it was clearly clear during last week. These two free kicks against Madrid were a sign that his striking ball would be put wisely in a more advanced role while the way he fell for the purpose of Partey against Brentford summed up why Arteta wishes to use it further.
Rice quickly broke with a corner of bees, beating a man, then entering half of the opposition like a racing horse, rushing devastating towards the goal, then playing the ball at the right time.
This type of broken portage would rarely be seen if he played in a role of detention, but the arrival of Zubimenddi would give Rice the license he really needs to settle as one of the most elite fields of the game.
