After the Gunners retained the FA Cup for the second successive season Arsene Wenger men will look to challenge for the Barclay Premier League trophy come next season. Arsenal Fans should have eyebrows raise as they expect nothing less than the Premier League Trophy this term something they last did in 2004.
To achieve this feat, the Frenchman must bolster his side and challenge Jose Mourinho's Chelsea from the moment the first Premier League whistle is blown in August.
"Wenger was quoted saying he will not pay 'stratospheric' fees to lure the best talent to Emirates Stadium but he is expected to alter the spine of his team during the window."Asked last month about his transfer plans the Gunners boss said: "Not at that level - for financial reasons. It's simple. I have not made a clear decision yet on what I will do. But don't rule anything out. I'm always more focused on quality."
Where do you think Arsenal should strengthen to enable them challenge for the top spot next season?
