Several high-profile reporters have stated in recent weeks that the Gunners<\/a> could spend heavily in this summer\u2019s transfer window.<\/p>\n Initially, it was assumed that Mikel Arteta<\/a>\u2018s side may have to focus on exits to balance the books after spending a further \u00a3250m on signings last summer, but David Ornstein revealed at the start of this month that they could \u201cexceed\u201d this outlay in this window.<\/a><\/p>\n Ornstein explained: \u201cThe number nine position is interesting. A penny for the thoughts of Victor Gyokeres tonight, his first season, and he helped them to this final and then was put on the bench.<\/p>\n \u201cThen the left-sided attack is a big priority for them, and they\u2019ve been looking at it for a few years, and I think they may be the summer where they really go for something. They\u2019ve got the options there.\u201d<\/p>\n READ: Arsenal get \u2018approval\u2019 for \u00a3170m double signing as Arteta plots title defence<\/a><\/p>\n Ornstein added: \u201cThey want a six\/eight midfielder.
