Arsenal will wait for confirmation on the futures of Bacary Sagna and Lukasz Fabianski before finalising their summer transfer plans.

The Gunners are expected to announce manager Arsene Wenger’s new three-year contract this week and are hopeful that Saturday’s FA Cup victory over Hull will prompt a late change of heart in two players the club are keen to keep.

Sagna and Fabianski (right) both played the entirety of Arsenal’s win with Wenger keen to show solidarity with the pair despite both indicating they are set to leave when their deals expire at the end of the month.

There was similar thinking behind the decision to allow Thomas Vermaelen to lift the trophy despite not playing. The Belgian has been linked with a move but Wenger was keen to ensure his captain was part of the celebrations, underlining his importance as a squad player.

Regardless of what Sagna, Fabianski and Vermaelen decide, Arsenal are expected to invest in at least two new players this summer but Wenger revealed that the club’s outgoings must first be determined.

Arsenal Season Review 5 show all Arsenal Season Review 1/5 The manager Arsene Wenger has faced more questions about his suitability for Arsenal than ever before, prompting a season of introspection and a delay in signing his new contract while he evaluates his worth to the club. He will take great pride in a 17th consecutive top-four finish yet rue the faltering form in early 2014 that bore familiar hallmarks of injuries and a failure to win the big matches. Has worked wonders in developing Aaron Ramsey and improving Olivier Giroud but should have strengthened the squad earlier last summer and/or in January. Lack of a top class centre-forward and a bonafide holding midfielder cost Arsenal the title. GETTY 2/5 Main man Per Mertesacker. The German has started more games than any other Arsenal player this season and has grown into an authoritative figure at the club. Brings organisation on and off the pitch while also a threat from set-pieces. Aaron Ramsey would have won this by some distance, though, had he not missed more than three months through injury. 3/5 Best buy Mesut Ozil. A tricky category because his competition is a 21-year-old striker without a goal to his name (Yaya Sanogo) and a Swedish veteran who was injured for nearly half his time at the club (Kim Kallstrom). Ozil started well, faded and was peripheral in some important games but is a high-class acquisition and will surely improve next year.

“First, we have to wait for Sagna —what will he do? — and Fabianski,” he said. “After, we have to bring in two or three players. Unfortunately, there are many teams on the market at the moment.”

Arsenal have more than £100million to spend — a figure bolstered by the beginning of a new kit sponsorship with Puma which starts in July. That five-year agreement was frontloaded, just as the Emirates shirt deal was, meaning that Arsenal will receive the first tranche of £30m this summer to spend on players.

Wenger’s priority is to sign a centre-forward. He continues to monitor Mario Mandzukic at Bayern Munich and Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema. The club have scouted Diego Costa but their information remains that the Atletico Madrid striker will most likely join Chelsea. Mandzukic and Benzema are Wenger’s preferred options but Alvaro Morata is under consideration while Queens Park Rangers’s striker Loic Remy is a cheaper alternative. Wenger also retains a slight interest in Salomon Kalou.

Arsenal are also expected to sign a holding midfielder with enquiries made for Bayer Leverkusen’s Lars Bender and Javi Martinez, of Bayern Munich. Should Sagna and Fabianski depart as expected, Wenger will consider reviving his interest in right-back Calum Chambers, of Southampton. Everton’s Seamus Coleman is another option.

With Emiliano Viviano returning to Palermo after a season-long loan spell and Fabianski on the brink of leaving, Wenger will have only one senior keeper, Wojciech Szczesny. It is understood he is keen on integrating 21-year-old Damian Martinez, who has been on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, into the first-team group, while the club have considered moves for Barcelona’s Victor Valdes and Real Madrid’s Iker Casillas.
