Arteta concedes Arsenal yet to settle on summer market plans

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta concedes they're yet to settle on their summer market plans.

Arteta has admitted that he is yet to decide on his transfer strategy for the upcoming window, and explained how the remaining games could shape his approach.

"What we need to do at the end of the season is see the direction we want to take, agree on the ambition, realise that where we are the demands are going to be huge and move from there," he said.

“If you are not in the Champions League and you say: 'Okay, I don't invest because I don't have the financial ability to do it', but the other clubs invest, then the gap becomes bigger.

“If I do want to invest and risk, and then I don't reach it, what happens? So at some stage you have to make a decision, whether I want to aim to make that gap closer and go for it, or I stay where I am."
