Arsenal’s summer transfer window is well underway, with plenty of speculation about what could happen over the next couple of months.

Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta’s main task will be to prepare the Gunners squad to challenge on all four fronts next season. Arsenal will hope to challenge for the Premier League title once again, and also enjoy success in Europe with the Champions League.

The Premier League campaign will get underway on August 17 away at Manchester United. Before then, Arsenal will take part in pre-season training starting next month, which could see some new faces arrive in the form of new signings.

Sporting director Andrea Berta will be working behind the scenes to get deals over the line to strengthen the Arsenal squad. The Gunners have until September 1 to complete their transfer business before the window closes.

Here, football.london takes a look at some decisions that Arsenal should look to make between now and the end of the summer transfer window.

Get two deals wrapped up

Arsenal are yet to complete their first signing of the summer, but all signs point towards two deals being on the verge of completion.

The Gunners are close to completing the signing of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi. Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is also a target for Arsenal with Neto’s loan spell from Bournemouth set to come to an end.

These two deals have been in the works for some time, so will come as little to no surprise if and when they are announced. But Arsenal will want to get both wrapped up quickly so they can focus on other important matters for the rest of the window.

Sign a striker

Much has been said and reported about Arsenal’s need to sign a striker for more than 12 months. Now the opportunity has arrived for the Gunners to bring such a player to the club.

RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko is a target for Arsenal but is not the only striker being considered by the Gunners. Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres is also a player of interest.

Only time will tell as to which player, if any, Arsenal decide to try and sign this summer. What is certain, though, is that the Gunners need to bring a new centre forward to the club before the September 1 deadline.

Agree Thomas Partey contract

Aside from signing new players, Arsenal must be mindful to keep players at the club beyond this summer. One player who is out of contract at the end of the month is Thomas Partey.

The Gunners midfielder played a key role in helping Arsenal reach the Champions League semi-final and finish second in the Premier League. There is still no sign of an agreement being reached over an extension, with reports in recent weeks linking Partey with a free transfer away from the Emirates this summer.

Only time will tell if Arsenal and Partey can come to an agreement over a contract extension. Given that Jorginho has already left the club, the Gunners would be wise to not let another midfielder leave North London in the same summer.
