Arsene Wenger will reportedly be the man in charge of Arsenal when the club releases a hefty kitty for this summer’s transfer activity in other to revamp the team.
Plenty of fans have made it clear that they want the Frenchman to step down when his contract expires in the summer.
Protests have been held before matches, while supporters have unfurled banners calling for Wenger to go, but it is believed that the 67-year-old could sign a new two-year deal.
According to The Mirror, the North London outfit is expected to have around £200m to spend this summer, and half of that will come from selling a number of first-team players.
The report claims that Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere, Olivier Giroud, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lucas Perez and David Ospina could be among those heading out the Emirates exit gates.
In terms of incomings, Wenger reportedly wants a deep-lying midfielder, two wingers, two full-backs, a goalkeeper and a striker, with Lyon star Alexandre Lacazette being the main target for the forward role.
Crystal Palace wide-man Wilfried Zaha is a rumoured target of Arsenal’s, while Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney is also being eyed by the North London outfit, who are in danger of missing out on a Champions League place this season.
