The main transfer priority for Arsenal this summer will be in central midfield, with an offer still expected for Southampton’s Morgan Schneiderlin even if the form of Francis Coquelin has altered the picture over recent weeks. Mikel Arteta has agreed in principle to a one year extension to a contract that expires this summer but Abou Diaby is likely to leave and Arsenal would also listen to offers for Mathieu Flamini as he approaches the final season of his contract.
