ARSENAL is in the process of recovering from the harshest conclusion to a season, as they tend to their wounds.
However, Mikel Arteta is already diligently crafting strategies for an upcoming season, determined to launch a renewed pursuit of the title.

Moreover, Arteta has the potential to include up to FOUR former Manchester City stars in his starting lineup, alongside his primary target, Declan Rice.
Arsenal’s hopes of securing their first title since 2004 were shattered when they suffered a defeat against Brighton last weekend.
An astonishing downfall occurred despite leading the race for 93 percent of the season, allowing City the opportunity to secure their third consecutive title by the end of Saturday.
Nonetheless, Arteta remains resolute in his determination and refuses to lose sight of the ultimate goal, as he diligently prepares for the upcoming campaign.
Arsenal takes pride in having two former Manchester City players, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, in their squad.
However, according to recent reports, they are now prepared to make another move on City for two additional players.
The first target is the dynamic wing-back Joao Cancelo, who is currently on loan at Bayern Munich.
Despite establishing himself as a prominent defender during his initial two seasons, the Portuguese talent faced challenges due to Guardiola’s altered formation in the current campaign.
It appears that Joao Cancelo, aged 28, is unlikely to have a future at Manchester City upon his return this summer.
Arsenal, on the other hand, is eager to commence negotiations with Cancelo as the season draws to a close.
Another Manchester City player catching Mikel Arteta’s attention is Ilkay Gundogan.
The 32-year-old German, who serves as Pep Guardiola’s captain, has regained his exceptional form in the latter part of the season.
However, Gundogan’s contract with City expires this summer, and he has opted not to pledge his future to the club.
