Arteta confirms Arsenal need huge summer recruitment overhaul: We need to evolve | OneFootball

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hinted at a huge summer overhaul at the club.

The Gunners go into Wednesday night's game with Chelsea out of Europe and sitting ninth in the Premier League.

And Arteta admits the club face a big task fixing their problems over the summer.

Speaking before Wednesday's clash with Chelsea, Arteta said: "There is so many things to do because we already have a lot of players on loan, a lot of players with contracts still that we have to sort and it will depend what happens with a lot of those players.

"And what we are able to recruit to improve the team is going to determine where we are.

"We have already had an incredible amount of changes throughout the club in the last year or so. More than ever.

"We are looking to be much closer than where we are at the moment. In order to do that there are certain things that we have to improve.

"Now it's about how we evolve. There are a lot of things that had to be done and they have [been] done. A lot of changes [we had] to make and they have been made.

"And now it's time to evolve and to evolve you have to take things once they are a little bit more settled and establish them to the next level."
