Martin Keown believes Arsenal should strengthen several areas of their squad this summer and has highlighted the positions he feels require further improvement ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n
After winning the league title last season, Arsenal are among the favourites to challenge for the Premier League crown again. However, with their rivals continuing to invest in new signings, the Gunners are expected to reinforce their squad to maintain their competitive edge.<\/p>\n
The club have earned a reputation for backing Mikel Arteta in the transfer market, leaving supporters confident that further additions will be made. The focus is now on identifying the right players who can improve an already talented squad.<\/p>\n
Keown Highlights Key Positions<\/h2>\n
Arteta already has one of the strongest squads in world football, but Arsenal are still expected to strengthen before the transfer window closes.<\/p>\n
According to Talk Sport, Keown outlined the areas he believes the club should prioritise as they prepare for another demanding campaign.<\/p>\n
Keown said, \u201cI think Arsenal need another midfield player, someone who can control things.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they need a left winger. You could say, they might go into the transfer market for a striker, I wouldn\u2019t put it past them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Arsenal Aim To Build On Success<\/h2>\n
Keown\u2019s comments reflect the belief that Arsenal should continue improving despite their success last season. Strengthening key positions could help the club remain competitive across all competitions and cope with the demands of another long campaign.<\/p>\n
Adding greater depth in midfield, increasing competition on the left wing, and potentially signing another striker would provide Arteta with more options as Arsenal seek to defend their league title.<\/p>\n
This summer could prove to be another defining period for the club, but Arsenal will also need to avoid making too many changes to a squad that has already demonstrated its quality. Finding the right balance between improving the team and maintaining stability could be crucial to sustaining their recent success throughout the upcoming season.<\/p>\n
