Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta is waiting for a great spending summer to help the club take the “next step” and end their silver reception.
The arts were talking a day after the Gunners announced their successor to sports director Edu, with Andrea Berta, once of Atletico Madrid, taking the brakes.
Arsenal, whose last trophy was the 2020 Armed Forces, has been criticized for not signing an attacker in the last windows, and their failure to act has been exposed in the second half of this season with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus both.
Without a well -known striker, Northern London dress has fallen 12 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League. He leaves them on the course to complete the runners for the third season in a row.
Speaking before his team’s match against Fulham on Emirates on Tuesday, Artesa said: “It will be a great (summer) and we are very excited about it.
“When you go again, we want to increase the depth of the team and the quality and skills we have to go to the next step.
“Summero summer is big because it’s an opportunity and especially because of the number of players we have in the squad now that is needed.
“But it’s a big summer for a lot of things because first of all we have to maintain the good foundations we have and then however we can improve and evolve the team.”
Although the ambitions of the Arsenal title are all, but for this term, they remain alive in the Champions League with a quarter -final two -legged collision against Real Madrid.
The arts will have Bukayo Saka available for selection for the opening foot in the Emirates next week, with the international England group to be also in the Spaniard’s team for the Cottgers visit.
Saka, 23, has been missing for more than three months after surgery in a Hamstring Lot based on the 5-1 Gunners win at Crystal Palace on December 21.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says Bukayo Saka is ‘ready to go’ after three months injured he also gives up an update in Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber, and talks about Andrea Berta joining Gunners as director Sporting
However, the arts are not worried about promoting Saka again in the spotlight with a closed friendly door, and six consecutive training sessions already under the Winger Winger’s belt.
“Sometimes these things happen and they happen to the best players and does not mean it has to happen again,” Artis said.
“He must be fully aware that everything is definitely rising: level, speed, time you have to execute is shorter.
“You want to do slower things? Forget about it, you will not be efficient. So you must surely be faster, sharper, up to maximum speed, and you have to train and prepare for it.
“Will I be nervous? No, because he has done everything many times already. He needs exposure to games, but all the boxes he has to score are there.
“There is no single player in that team that has produced Bukayo’s number in the last three seasons. He has been really good in the process and we have received a lot of assurance that he can do very well now.”

At the head of the Arsenal summer plans along with the arts will be Andrea Berta, who has been appointed as the new Gunners sports director.
The 53-year-old felt the opportunity to work at the North London Club and the Premier League was a great opportunity to go down.
“I am excited to be joining Arsenal in what is an extremely exciting period for the club,” Berta said.
“I have seen with great interest in the way Arsenal has evolved in recent years and I have admired the tireless work that has entered into the resettlement of the club as a major force in European football with a passionate pursuit around the world.
“The club has excellent values and a rich story, and I look forward to playing my role in shaping a successful future with a great team.
“I can’t wait to start in my new role and I am really looking forward to experiencing my first game in the Emirates Stadium along with our supporters.”
Arsenal held a full process and interviewed a number of candidates but Berta was the extraordinary choice.
