Arsenal have qualified for the Europa League next season and need a bigger squad to cope with the extra matches.

Speaking earlier this year, Arteta explained that he wants 22 top quality outfield players and three goalkeepers for next season.
He said: ‘Both competitions (the Champions League and Europa League) require a much larger squad because the number of games you play is much bigger, so I don’t think it makes a lot of difference (which competition Arsenal qualify for).
‘If you can afford it, and we don’t have to do the turnaround in the squad that we’ve had to do, if you ask me what I want it’s 22 outfield players and three goalkeepers.’
