Mikel Arteta faces crucial decisions this summer as Arsenal prepare to build on a successful season. With the Gunners five matches away from a potential Premier League and Champions League double, the manager must assess his squad to address weaknesses and strengthen for the future.
Goalkeeper David Raya is a clear 'keep' after establishing himself as one of Europe's most dependable shot-stoppers, set to win a third consecutive Premier League Golden Glove. Kepa Arrizabalaga, despite a costly Carabao Cup final error, should also be retained as an experienced understudy. Youngster Tommy Setford is worth keeping for his potential development.
In defence, Jurrien Timber is a 'keep' after impressive early-season form, though his injury history requires careful management. Ben White, once a key figure, has declined due to injuries and should be sold to fund a replacement. Cristhian Mosquera, a £13m summer signing, has adapted superbly and offers valuable cover, making him a 'keep'. William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are indispensable and must be retained.
