The summer transfer window will open in little over two weeks for Arsenal. With tasks to be completed all over the field, the Gunners are also anticipated to be one of the busier teams.

Mikel Arteta has a talented roster at his disposal, but he will probably cut some of the fringe players to focus on his core group, who have played very little over the last two seasons. Their departure will free up capital to be used for expanding investments in strategic roles.

Although the club improved from last season, they still need to make some changes in order to close the gap to Manchester City, if not completely eliminate it. It looks like it will be a fun ride.

Getting to know Marcus RashfordOnline reports indicate that Mikel Arteta and Marcus Rashford have met in recent weeks to discuss various matters, including a potential transfer to Arsenal. It is believed that both sides are receptive to the idea of reaching an agreement.

There have been rumors about Rashford and the Gunners before. There has been much speculation about his future as a player, and not even a new long-term deal last summer has put an end to it.With four years remaining on his contract, Rashford may continue to earn almost £300,000 per week at Old Trafford. His future is uncertain due to a bad season with his childhood club and the possibility of yet another managerial change; some United fans are sick of the striker’s inconsistent play.

Despite scoring 30 goals the previous season, the 26-year-old scored just seven in the 2023–24 league. As a result, his worldwide career has come to a standstill and his stock price has fallen precipitously over the last six months.
