Arsene Wenger reveals that Arsenal will aim to sign three new players this summer.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that the club will aim to sign three players in the summer transfer window.

Last year, the Gunners' only signing was goalkeeper Petr Cech, who moved to the Emirates from Chelsea for £11m.

The North London outfit have been linked with moves for Alvaro Morata, Mauro Icardi and Granit Xhaka, who is reportedly the subject of a £33.8m bid from Arsenal.

Wenger has claimed that there will be new additions, but does not want to make too many changes to the squad that failed to keep up their campaign for the Premier League title.

"We want to keep the squad stable over the summer while strengthening where possible," the London Evening Standard quotes Wenger as saying. "You want the group to be stimulated and to believe that we have improved the quality.

"I must say, we want to combine technical stability with players that we know want to play and know our game. Maybe bring in three players for example - that's the right level for me."

Arsenal will finish second in the table on the final day of the season if they beat Aston Villa today and Tottenham lose to Newcastle United.
