After enjoying an impressive season under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal are looking to significantly strengthen their squad in the transfer window.
Arsenal finished second in the Premier League, their best finish since Arsene Wenger left the club, and secured a return to the Champions League after a six-year absence. If the Gunners are to compete both in Europe and in the league next season then they will need to add more depth and quality.
It should be a busy summer for the Gunners and Mirror Football has rounded up all the latest news from the Emirates.
West Ham confirm Rice exit
After West Ham beat Fiorentina 2-1 to win the Europa Conference league, owner David Sullivan has confirmed the game will be Declan Rice's last for the club amid interest from several clubs including Arsenal.
"I think it has to be [his last game]. We promised him he could go. He set his heart on going. You can't ask for a man who has committed more to us this season. In due course, he has to get on and we have to get a replacement - or several replacements," Sullivan told talkSPORT.
