Arteta was keen on a busy window (Picture: Getty)Mikel Arteta has fired back at Gary Neville’s suggestion the Arsenal squad needs a complete overhaul, but conceded he was unsure what funds would be available to spend on signings this summer. Neville urged Arteta to gut his team of players who are too ’emotional’ after successive losses to Manchester City and relegation battlers Brighton all but ended Arsenal’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. Arsenal are languishing in tenth place in the Premier League, but Arteta dismissed the idea his current crop of players needed to leave the club. Arteta was planning a big summer of departures and signings, but the transfer budget has reportedly been slashed. Asked about his plans for the next window, Arteta admitted he was still in the dark about what business could be done.
