The summer transfer window is going to be a big one

The loss against Forest told us that Arsenal’s biggest weakness has been its downfall…squad depth.

With the team clearly running on fumes, the Gunners’ bench again had academy players on it. City’s has full internationals, and that is where Arsenal needs to get better.

Hence why the summer transfer window is crucial. Declan Rice, Moises Caidedo, and two or more players need to be brought in. With the Champions League on the horizon, the squad must be seriously strengthened.
