Arsenal are likely to make changes in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners brought in Martin Odegaard and Mat Ryan on loan in the January transfer window, with more changes to come this summer as Mikel Arteta looks to shape his squad even further.
A number of players left – including Sokratis, Mesut Ozil and Shkodran Mustafi and Arteta may have to sell some more players before he can buy, with money expected to be tight as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
One area they are looking to strengthen is at full-back.
Arteta wanted another left-back during the winter window, but was unable to bring in any competition for Kieran Tierney, so they will look to bolster there in the summer.

Right-back is also an area they will address, with Hector Bellerin tipped to move on.
And Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move for Brighton defender Tariq Lamptey.
The former Chelsea starlet has shone since moving to the Amex in January 2020 and a number of top teams are looking at him.

football.london understands the Gunners are monitoring his situation, although he would command a sizeable fee, with the 20-year-old contracted to the Seagulls until 2025.
Arsenal have a number of exciting young English talents at their disposal, namely Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.
And the Gunners supporters are already excited about the potential linkup between Saka and Lamptey down the right.
Lamptey would no doubt be an exciting signing for Arsenal, in an area they need to strengthen.
Whether it happens or not we will have to wait and see.
