Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is determined to end the club’s lengthy Premier League title drought, and a significant summer transfer window is expected.
While signings haven’t materialized yet, reports indicate Arsenal is targeting a left-back, central midfielder, striker, and potentially a goalkeeper if Aaron Ramsdale departs.
A number of players are expected to depart the Emirates, with Arsenal considering bids for Emile Smith-Rowe and Reiss Nelson. Ramsdale is one among them, having lost his spot to David Raya last season.
David Raya, who displaced Aaron Ramsdale last season, is expected to have his loan deal made permanent, solidifying Arsenal’s goalkeeping position.
With limited playing time, a move away seems likely for Ramsdale to revive his career. Newcastle were initially interested but have opted for another goalkeeper.
According to The Athletic If Ramsdale does leave, 23-year-old Joan Garcia from Espanyol, who has a €25 million release clause, could be an alternative option.

The intended additions point to Arteta having a well-defined strategy in place to strengthen the team’s areas of weakness and create a group that can contend for the League title.
Offloading players like Smith-Rowe and Nelson could free up funds and create space for incoming transfer targets.
While experienced players are likely to arrive, Arsenal’s successful integration of William Saliba highlights their commitment to developing young talent.
Arsenal’s transfer window strategy seems focused on targeted reinforcements and a potential change in the goalkeeping pecking order. Their willingness to release peripheral players reflects a desire to build a more competitive squad, with the ultimate goal of ending their 20-year Premier League drought.
