Former Arsenal star Ian Wright has claimed that the club is poised to make significant transfers in the upcoming season following his recent meeting with club chief Edu and manager Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal could be on the verge of a big summer transfer window as they look to bolster their squad with some big-name signings.
Club legend Ian Wright recently revealed that he met with club chief Edu and manager Mikel Arteta and was impressed by the level of confidence at the club.
In an interview with The Athletic , Wright said speaking to Alan Shearer, “What’s happening now at the club is we’re not having to go out and cajole other people to come and join Arsenal. They can see what we’re doing. Edu is saying his phone is ringing off the hook and they’re very confident about the calibre of player they’re going to sign. If you’re going to challenge this City team, you’re going to have to come correct.”
This statement suggests that Arsenal may have already identified their transfer targets and could be in the process of securing them. The Daily Mirror has linked West Ham midfielder Declan Rice as one of the big names on Arsenal’s radar. If they manage to sign Rice, it could be a significant boost to their squad and improve their chances of competing at the highest level.
The Gunners have struggled in recent years, but the opportunity to play in the Champions League and be part of an ambitious project could be enough to lure top players to the club.
