Arsenal's eyes are solely on winning a first Premier League title since 2004 this campaign. But when the season comes to an end, the club will no doubt dip their toes into the transfer market .

Mikel Arteta welcomed some game-changing new additions last summer, with Martin Zubimendi, Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Cristhian Mosquera all signing on the dotted line and entering first-team contention.

Piero Hincapie will also make his initial loan spell in north London permanent come the summer. But when the next window arrives, manager Arteta has been prompted to sell two key attackers. Mirror Football brings you the latest from the Emirates.

Former Arsenal defender William Gallas has outlined what he thinks his old club should do in the summer window. The Frenchman thinks both Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard should be sold.

He told BoyleSports: "When Arsenal play on the counter-attack, I think sometimes the midfielders have to look for Viktor Gyokeres to give him the ball at the first opportunity.

"Gyokeres always asks for the ball in front, in the space, but he doesn't get the ball, because the midfielder wants to keep the ball. That is the style of Arsenal.

"He has scored goals but he hasn't scored enough goals so he has to reach a minimum 20 goals next season and it will be difficult for him if Arsenal are going to play the same way because he doesn't really dominate the league physically like he did in Portugal.

"Maybe you need a left winger because I don't know what has happened to Gabriel Martinelli, he's just not what he was, and Leandro Trossard is a good squad player but you need something else.

"When you've got a striker like Gyokeres, you need players to give him the ball to score the goals, and that's why maybe some of Arsenal's style has to change, or Arsenal need to change their striker."

Regarding defensive recruits, reports suggest that Sporting CP pair Maxi Araujo and Ivan Fresneda are on the club's radar. Araujo impressed at left-back in the Gunners' recent Champions League tie with Sporting.

Fresneda operates on the opposite side of the pitch at right-back, and he too made an impact in a game against Arsenal, playing the full first leg in Portugal and conceding just a single goal.

Record reports that Arteta's side have already initiated talks for Araujo, who it is thought could cost roughly £51m, but he does have a £69m release clause in his current deal.
