MIKEL ARTETA will continue his transfer overhaul of Arsenal this summer as he continues his transformation of the club.
The Gunners boss will have cash to splash yet again in the upcoming window after being backed heavily last year.
This is how Arsenal could look next season should they sign their top targets
And with the North London outfit in pole position to finish in the top four, Arsenal could have more money to spend should they secure a Champions League spot.
Arsenal were Europe’s biggest spenders last year having forked out around £150million on six players.
Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale was brought in along with defenders Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Nuno Tavares and midfielders Martin Odegaard and Albert Sambi Lokonga.
The club’s transfer kitty has already been boosted after Marseille turned Matteo Guendouzi’s loan spell into a permanent stay earlier this month for £9m.

Meanwhile Fiorentina are poised to sign Lucas Torreira for £12.5m with the Uruguayan midfielder impressing on loan in Florence.
SunSport exclusively revealed in February how Arsenal were once again prepared to go big in the summer as they look to bolster their attack and defence.
Real Sociedad striker Alexander Isak is being eyed up with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah set to depart on free transfers.
Swiss star Granit Xhaka is once again on Roma’s radar, and Arsenal know they will have to replace him in the middle of the pitch.

Wolves’ Ruben Neves is on the club’s shortlist, along with Aston Villa starlet Carney Chukwuemeka, Lyon ace Lucas Paqueta and Leicester’s Youri Tielemans.
And rumours continue to link Arsenal with Serge Gnabry due to German winger’s uncertain future at Bayern Munich.
Here SunSport takes a look at how the Gunners could line-up next season.
Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale will certainly keep his place between the sticks having established himself as the No1 after three Premier League games.
And Arteta’s preferred back four is unlikely to change, with Tomiyasu slotting in at right-back and Kieran Tierney starting on the opposite side.
Ben White will partner Gabriel in the heart of defence, though William Saliba is expected to challenge for a starting spot once he returns from his Marseille loan spell.
Should Neves be brought in, he will likely play alongside Thomas Partey in the middle of the pitch, with Martin Odegaard to play in a more advanced role.
Bukayo Saka would keep his place on the right wing, with Gnabry to be deployed on the opposite flank should he arrive, which would see Gabriel Martinelli drop to the bench.
And Isak would then be tasked with leading the line should Arsenal manage to secure the Swede’s services.
