 Arsenal have identified three priority positions to strengthen as Mikel Arteta plans changes to his squad with the aim of breaking into Europe’s elite.

The Gunners crashed out of the Champions League against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night but are already planning to revamp their team ahead of next season as they look to crack the big time.

It is no secret that Arsenal want a new striker this summer, but intriguingly they have also placed a new left-back and midfielder on their summer checklist.

Arsenal will release significant funds this summer, with their spending on incomings to be supplemented by a number of exits.

News of the club’s search for a left-back arrives at a time where there is some doubt over Oleksander Zinchenko’s long-term future under Arteta, although the Spaniard offered a resounding backing of the Ukrainian defender earlier this week.
