Unai Emery knows exactly what he needs to do in his first season as an Arsenal head coach, which allows the Gunners to return to the Champions League.
A top four finish in the Premier League would be a way for him to achieve his goals. The victory in the Europa League is another way forward for the Spanish.
It would not be the end of the world if it failed – nor the end of Emery – but if the Champions League was to return to the Emirates Stadium in 2019, the club transfer budget would be increased and, with him, the chances of the club to challenge for the major trophies.
The summer could be the key and players are already linked to moves in North London.
Here are the latest rumors of Arsenal transfer and gossip with an eye on late season business.
Alex Grimaldo
The Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha reports that Arsenal 's interest in Benfica' s left – back, Alex Grimaldo, also known as Alejandro Grimaldo, is real.
It's after a translation of their story by Sport Witness.

A product of the youth academy of Barcelona, the 23-year-old athlete apparently has an exit fee set at 52.5 million pounds sterling compared to the exchange rate in effect at the time of writing .
Too rich for Arsenal, at least if Arsenal miss the football of the Champions League.
Ben Godfrey
The Mirror claims that Arsenal is after Norwich City defender Ben Godfrey after having already been reported to another team member of Daniel Farke's title champion, Max Aarons.
Manchester United would also be interested in the young man whose value is estimated at £ 10 million. Lyon and RB Leipzig also follow the 21-year-old.

Godfrey can play at the back center and in the defensive midfield, while Aarons is a right back at home.
After selling Alex Pritchard, James Maddison and twins Jacob and Josh Murphy in recent seasons, Norwich could hope to cash in on his two promising young players, although promotion to the Premier League could allow his pair to stay.
Jean-Philippe Gbamin
Jean-Philippe Gbamin, central defender of Mainz, is another potential reinforcement for the Gunners.
The Express says the 23-year-old would cost 40 million pounds, with the Arsenal recruiting team having a budget of only 45 million pounds for the summer.

Last summer, Abdou Diallo left Mainz for Borussia Dortmund and became a key player in Lucien Favre's leaders in the German title race.
Gbamin continued to impress even after the sale of his former defensive partner.
With doubts about the quality of Shkodran Mustafi and his future, the defender of the Bundesliga could be an expensive substitute if Godfrey does not pay the addition.
Nicolas Pepe
The loss of Arsenal could be the gain of Chelsea.
Ligue 1 star Nicolas Pepe has been linked to the Gunners all season. Bayern Munich is now on the market for its services, according to Le10 Sport, translated by Sport Witness.
The Bavarians are looking to replace the old wingers, Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, and have identified Callum Hudson-Odoi as a potential successor.
Now they would be in the frame for Pepe, which could pose a major problem for Arsenal, especially if they fail to protect their football from the Champions League.
Bayern might well have a sufficient budget to expel the Gunners from the water, and a more convincing argument that the Allianz Arena is the place to go to win trophies over the Emirates stadium. .
Arsène Wenger
Paris Saint-Germain has been appointed to head the former director of Arsenal, Arsene Wenger.
However, head coach Thomas Tuchel does not have to worry.

The Frenchman is the favorite to become the next director of football in Paris, as a successor to Antero Henrique.
UOL claims that the Portuguese executive is already working on borrowed time with the specter of Wenger's imminent appointment over him.
Mesut Ozil
There is another way to increase the transfer funds available for Arsenal in the summer: sales.
Emery will not want to lose key players such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but at Mesut Ozil, he has a well-paid badet that does not play enough, or puts enough performance to justify the money that is thrown to him.
The Inter would be the most obvious route for Germans outside the Emirates in the summer.

Calciomercato says that the playmaker has already been offered to the Milan-based team, though through intermediaries, in a report translated by Sport Witness.
The relations between Ozil and Emery would have completely collapsed, according to the Italian point of sale.
He was again away for Arsenal this weekend in their match against Huddersfield Town after being sidelined for illness.
