Arsenal's summer transfer activity is reportedly already in motion as the club target Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata and Schalke 04 midfielder Julian Draxler.
The Gunners, who are expected to keep hold of manager Arsene Wenger, are said to be keen to wrap up their deals sooner rather than later when the summer window opens.
The club's early planning comes after failures to land Gonzalo Higuain and Liverpool star Luis Suarez at the end of last season.
According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal are already in negotiations with Madrid and Schalke regarding Morata and Draxler respectively, while Bayer Leverkusen's Lars Bender is also understood to be a top target.
Reports have claimed that Arsenal have placed a striker, defensive midfielder and two defenders as priority.
