Arsenal are making moves to improve their squad ahead of the summer, with big deals to be sorted
Arsenal have 'accepted conditions' to sign a Brazilian star, as the Gunners' summer business gears up.
Manager Mikel Arteta has done very little business in the last 12 months, opting to evolve the squad that pushed Manchester City close to the Premier League title rather than making sweeping changes.
After a disappointing campaign in which Liverpool are 13 points ahead with just 12 games to go, however, Arsenal may well opt for a different approach in the market this time around. Sales are expected and big signings may well be made across the pitch
A new forward remains the obvious area of Arteta's side that needs reinforcement, with Kai Havertz ruled out for the season with a hamstring injury and Gabriel Jesus out for a portion of next term due to an ACL – though even before these injuries, a new forward was touted.
Arsenal is in the market for wide attackers, with Raheem Sterling leaving and Leandro Trossard's future still to be decided. Thomas Partey and Jorginho's departures create a void.
Then there's the backup goalkeeper role, with the on-loan Neto returning to Bournemouth over the summer – and Joan Garcia heavily rumoured.
It's perhaps then somewhat surprising that Arsenal have begun contacts to sign another right-back. According to a report from Bolavip Brasil, the North Londoners are in for Wesley Franca of Flamengo.
