Mikel Arteta: 'We will try to improve squad this summer'

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is confident that the Gunners will be able to improve their squad during this summer's transfer window.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is confident that the Gunners will be able to improve their squad in the upcoming transfer market.

The financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak is likely to be felt across football, meaning that clubs might be quieter in the transfer window than they otherwise would have been.

Arteta, though, when responding to a question relating to Chelsea's move for Timo Werner, insisted that his club could not afford to "stand still" as they attempt to return to former glories on the field.

"Well let's see, we're trying to put a plan together to improve what we have," Sky Sports News quotes Arteta as saying. "We haven't been able to do or achieve the results we wanted in the last three years. There's a reason behind it and if we stand still obviously that gap will get bigger and bigger. I haven't come here to accept or to do that.

"The challenge for all of us is first of all to improve the players that we have and find the ways to improve the squad in the right positions in order to give us the best possible chance and tools that we need to compete at that level which is getting higher and higher every year."

Arsenal resumed their 2019-20 Premier League season with a 3-0 defeat at Manchester City on Wednesday night, which has left them in ninth spot in the table, eight points off the top four.
