Mikel Arteta promises summer transfers to fix 'really short' squad as Arsenal boss places confidence in 'ones upstairs to do what they need to do'

Mikel Arteta has promised a big summer of transfers to make Arsenal worthy Premier League title contenders next season with his squad set to be 'really short'.

The manager confirmed at least 'four or five players' will be departing at the end of this season. They include Jorginho, who is joining Brazilian side Flamengo, and the Celtic-bound Kieran Tierney.

Loanees Neto and Raheem Sterling are also going, with Oleksandr Zinchenko expected to depart, too.

He said: 'Obviously we need players because the squad is really short, and on top of that we are losing four or five players that are going to end contracts, and their loans are finished.
