Arsenal are likely to bein for a busy summer of transfer activity (Picture: Getty)Mikel Arteta is likely to be forced to choose between his top two midfield transfer targets this summer and will be unable to sign both. The Gunners’ title challenge has run out of steam in recent weeks and their weaknesses brutally exposed in Wednesday’s defeat at Manchester City. Arsenal were overpowered in and overrun in central midfield where Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka failed to cope City’s talisman Kevin De Bruyne. Caicedo remains on Arteta’s radar and the player revealed recently why he was so intent on joining the Spaniard’s rebuilding project. The 22-year-old’s current deal expires in 2024 after Arsenal activated a 12-month extension clause earlier this year.
