The Gunners will strengthen in the summertime switch window to make sure they maintain a stronger problem subsequent season. Mikel Arteta insists the work has already begun. He instructed Sky Sports: “The first plan is to look in the mirror at me first and ask what can I do better? What can I do different? How can I stimulate the players again to deliver what is needed.

“And then go through the squad: are we getting the best out of each of them? We got some really good things. Is it the best that we can get out of them? In Europe there isn't any other players like [Bukayo] Saka, [Gabriel] Martinelli, Martin [Odegaard]… That doesn't mean that it's the ceiling.

“I don't know where the ceiling is. Do they have things to improve? Yes. So we need to seek for that. And then if we don't reach in certain area with certain things, whatever is not in that page that is needed to win, has to be recruited. It's as simple as that.”
