Arsenal is still linked with Inter Milan's Achraf Hakimi, with the Italian club revealing their asking price as the Gunners brace for yet another summer of transition.
Arsenal's mixed season has illustrated the need for a big overhaul at the Emirates.
Arsenal's manager Mike Arteta brought in some new faces during his first summer as the head coach of the Gunners, but his team could finish lower than they did last year.
Martin Odegaard's loan arrival in January has been a major plus, but the club's finances may prevent a permanent contract.
As a consequence, ahead of the summer transfer window, other playmakers are being considered.
Arsenal will have to recruit players who aren't enticed by the prospect of playing in Europe because they are unlikely to even qualify for the Europa League.
They are still in the running for Europe's secondary club competition, and a win will help them improve their place.
Arsenal is interested in signing Hakimi for £43 million.
Arsenal is expected to make an offer for Inter defender Achraf Hakimi, according to AS.
The Gunners see the 22-year-old as a potential replacement for Hector Bellerin, who has been linked with a summer move back to Barcelona.
The Moroccan was only signed by the Italian side in the summer, and they are willing to let him go.
Inter could sell Hakimi if they receive an offer of about €50 million (£43 million).
According to Sky Sport Italia, Arsenal has made contact with AC Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu as a possible Odegaard replacement.
The north Londoners are keen to add another playmaker to their squad next season, but Odegaard may not be able to stay.
Arsenal's financial capabilities will be tested by the Norwegian loanee's £300 million release clause in his Real Madrid deal.
Luiz's stay at Arsenal may be extended.
Arsenal can ask David Luiz to stay at the club amid Mikel Arteta's continued reservations about William Saliba.
Unai Emery signed the young French center-back more than 18 months ago, but he didn't arrive until Arteta took over.
Saliba was loaned back to Ligue 1 after failing to make an impact at Arsenal.
However, it has left the Arsenal manager with few choices, and he must decide how to best use his resources this summer.
Luiz signed a one-year contract extension with the Emirates this season.
According to The Sun, the Gunners are set to give him the chance to extend his stay once more, but he will have to accept a pay cut.
