Arsenals hopes of finishing in a champions league place are looking slim. The table now stands with them in third with 63 points, Chelsea in fourth with 62 points and a game in hand and Spurs with 61 and a game in hand.

The problem is that Arsenal play the winners of this years Premier leauge, Man U. It is a must win seeing as Chelsea play swansea and Spurs play wigan. Arsenal have been showing good form so just because they are coming up against the winners of the leauge and their old super stricker Robin Van Persie does not mean that it will be a walk over. Arsenal have more to play for then most teams in the premier leuge as Arsene Wenger has never finished outside the top 4 in his time at Arsenal and that Spurs have finished behind Arsenal for about 25 years. Another big reason is that they are looking to get there 70million budget in the summer but that could only happen with a champions cup place.

Arsenal are still planning ahead with the fact that they are going to get there 70 million budget and talks with Fiorentina's striker Jovetic is looking promising. Arsenal are expected to go for an early bid in the summer transfer window.

It also seems like Arsenal will bow out of the race for Gotze seeing as Bayern have but in a 32 million bid for him and Arsenal are not willing to spend that much money.

Arsenal Summer Transfers Targets

Arsenal have declared a 70million budget for this summer if they get a champions league place (top 4). The prediction for the new Arsenal team will be a young french right back from Marseille to replace Sagna who they are looking to sell this summer.

They have also shown interest in signing Gotze the new rising midfielder from Dortmund. The gunners tried to snatch the star last season but were told he was not for sale. It looks like a move could happen this year for Gotze but at a price of 40m. Arsenal are expected to only go as high as 25 million and with Man City also looking at the young player Arsenal might have to dig deep into there budget if they want to get him.

News of a new keeper has been on a few peoples minds and with Victor Valdes looking for a move the the premier league he has been short listed by Wenger alone with Adler and a few others.



 Finaly with Arsenals attack not being what people expected this year with the new signings of Giroud and Podolski. The top strickers havnt preformed to there best for most of the season and the talk of improving the forward line some more is highly likely. Jovetic is looking for a move and is a big target for a lot of clubs Arsenal being one of these willing to pay big bucks. If QPR are religated this year there new french signing Remy will be looking for a move and Arsenal might be looking to swoop him for cheap.
