Arteta Reflects on Arsenal’s Title Pursuit and Near Miss

"There's nothing more to squeeze out. Not a single drop more to give. I hope the fans appreciate where we are and where we've brought this football club," Arteta stated.

"We'll have plenty of time to reflect, analyze what happened during the season, learn from it, take the positives of what the team has done, and think about how we can address that small percentage that's missing,"

Transfer Window Priorities: A Proven Goalscorer at the Top of the List

This search will undoubtedly begin with the pursuit of a proven goalscorer, with names like Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres already being linked to the club.

"Believe me, we're working on it. We'll try to squeeze and turn over every stone possible to make this club even more successful. We'll sit down and lay out all the plans, which are almost ready. We'll finalize the few things that still need to be sorted," Arteta added.

A promising young squad and clear ambitions for silverware have positioned Arsenal to focus on a critical summer ahead.

The Reds will be eager to see how Arteta and the club strengthen the team for another push at the Premier League title next season.
