Mikel Arteta is confident Arsenal can attract any player they want to the Emirates as he opened up on the club’s transfer plans ahead of the summer window. While Arsenal marched through to the Champions League semi-finals in midweek, it has been a mixed season for the Gunners across all fronts.

Mikel Arteta believes new sporting director Andrea Berta will bring “more ideas” and “surprises” to Arsenal ’s summer transfer plans. The Gunners hired Berta at the end of last month after previously spending almost 12 years at Atletico Madrid.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made the exciting claim that players don’t need much persuading to move to the Emirates Stadium. Speaking at his press conference earlier today, Arteta told reporters that he doesn’t necessarily think a big win over someone like Real Madrid has that much of an impact on players’ transfer decisions.
