Arsenal are pushing for Champions League qualification this season. But concerns around squad depth have seen optimism around the possibility take a knock.
Kieran Tierney has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, whilst Thomas Partey has suffered a thigh injury that could set him back at least a few weeks. Meanwhile, Takehiro Tomiyasu is still out injured and isn't expected to return until at least mid-April.
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.

Hector Bellerin
On-loan right-back Bellerin is a transfer target for Real Betis once his deal at the club ends, according to Mundo Deportivo. The 27-year-old has one-year left on his Arsenal contract and has started the majority of Betis' La Liga games this season.
Arda Guler
Arsenal are set to scout wonderkid Arda Guler over a potential move for the 17-year-old, according to Fanatik, per Sports Witness. The Turkish midfielder has impressed and has even attracted the interest of Liverpool.
Eden Hazard
Arsenal have met with representatives of Real Madrid winger Hazard over a potential loan-to-buy deal in the summer, according to Footmercato. A move could see the former Chelsea man make a return to the Premier League three-years after he left for the Bernabeu, where he has struggled to recapture that form.
Alvaro Morata
Arsenal have been dealt a blow to their hopes of signing Morata this summer, with the Spaniard thought to be more interested in staying with Juventus. The Gunners were strongly linked with a move for the on-loan Atletico Madrid man throughout the January transfer window. However, according to TuttoMercatoWeb, it is suggested that he has made it known to his agent that he wants to stay in Turin.
