Despite sufffering a setback in their 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace on Monday night, Arsenal are pushing for Champions League qualification this season. But concerns around squad depth have seen optimism around the possibility take a knock.
The Gunners currently occupy fifth position in the Premier League, as north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur sit in fourth on goal difference. Mikel Arteta's side do have a game in hand on the Lilywhites, but they'll need to get back to winning ways against Brighton this weekend.
Regardless of whether they qualify for the Champions League, however, Arsenal will be looking to strengthen in the summer, primarily in the central forward and midfield areas. With that in mind, football.london has rounded-up some of the latest transfer rumours surrounding the club.

Memphis Depay
Arsenal have reportedly launched an enquiry for Barcelona striker and Manchester United flop, Memphis Depay. That is according to Superdeporte, who claim that the Gunners are interested in a move for the Dutchman as his future at the Camp Nou looks increasingly uncertain. Newcastle United and Everton are also mentioned as admirers though.
Victor Osimhen
Arsenal have been dealt a blow to their hopes of signing Osimhen with Napoli having reportedly upped their demands for the Nigerian. According to Corriere dello Sport, via Football Italia, an offer of €120m (£100m) will be required to tempt the Italian outfit to sell. It is detailed that Newcastle United lodged a bid in the January window but Napoli would be requiring far more than their original offer.
Amine Gouiri
OGC Nice star Amine Gouiri has sparkled in Ligue 1 this season having notched 17 goal involvements. According to CalcioMercato, the Gunners are the latest to declare an interest, whilst AC Milan and Sevilla are also tracking him.
