ARSENAL'S TRANSFER PLANS REVEALED

Arsenal are planning to spend big this summer in a bid to compete with Manchester City for the Premier League title again next season. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is keen to sign a new centre-back, two central midfielders and an attacker. Bayer Leverkusen forward Moussa Diaby is on the top of Arsenal's shortlist, while it is expected that Reiss Nelson will leave for free after rejecting a contract extension in north London.

The Mail report: "Diaby is likely to cost in excess of £50m, but the Gunners will face competition for the former PSG star’s signature with Manchester United, Newcastle and Real Madrid all linked with the exciting attacker.

"Wilfried Zaha is out of contract at the end of the season and is also a consideration for Arsenal, but they want to pursue a move for Diaby before exploring a potential free transfer for the Crystal Palace star.

"West Ham captain Declan Rice is the Gunners’ priority target in central midfield. Southampton’s teenage midfielder Romeo Lavia is also of interest, while the Gunners remain keen on Brighton’s Moises Caicedo. At centre-back, Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi has impressed Arsenal’s recruitment specialists this season.

"The north London will also look to offload some of their fringe players with the likes of Folarin Balogun, Kieran Tierney, Rob Holding and Emile Smith Rowe set to attract interest this summer."
