Arsenal will back Mikel Arteta in the transfer market as they attempt to assemble a squad capable of toppling Manchester City at the top of the Premier League, according to the i.

Image source, Getty ImagesRyan Sessegnon is ready to leave Tottenham on a free transfer this summer.
The 24-year-old winger is keen for a new challenge at a Premier League rival next season and wants to move when his contract expires despite Spurs holding an option to keep him for a further year.
Sessegnon played just once this season, a seven-minute substitute appearance against Burnley in the FA Cup in January, during an injury-hit campaign in North London.
The former England Under-21 international has suffered chronic hamstring problems and has had two surgeries to rebuild his career, the latest coming in February after a setback while playing in an academy match.
But he is nearing his return as he steps up his rehabilitation and is keen to get back playing first-team football.
Spurs will look for a replacement forward to bolster manager Ange Postecoglou’s options next season.
Sessegnon joined Spurs for £25m from Fulham in 2019 after winning the Championship Player of the Year award during the Cottagers’ promotion-winning campaign.
Before injuries took their toll, it seemed clear that Luke Shaw and Ben Chilwell would be the two men selected to compete for left-back in the England squad.
Shaw has 31 caps for England, scoring three goals - including in the final of the last Euros tournament, just a couple of minutes into the game against Italy at Wembley.
Chilwell, while an unused squad player at Euro 2020, has been a regular in Gareth Southgate's squads with 21 senior caps.
But of course, injuries have been an issue. Shaw is currently struggling with a muscle problem and Chilwell has had a hamstring injury this season. Combined, the pair made only 25 Premier League appearances in 2023-24 (Shaw 12, Chilwell 13).

Paul (07:25) saying that we've no top LB when Shaw is fit is ludicrous. When fit, Shaw is one of the top LB in the Prem. Here's hoping he's fit enough to make the plane.

Mitchell made his England debut in a 2–1 win over Switzerland in March, 2022, coming on for Luke Shaw in the 61st minute.

Can’t believe that Tyrick Mitchell has not been mentioned for England’s LB role. Has a cap, been consistent all season, barely missing a game, consistency has been amazing!
James in York
Surely Tyrick Mitchell of Palace is an obvious left back option. Under Glasner has developed his attacking game too. And he’s an ‘actual’ left back

Gareth Southgate will name about 30 players in today’s England training squad ahead of Euro 2024.
This is because England will likely be without about 10 players ahead of their two warm-up games, due to the FA Cup final and the Champions League final.
England will then submit their final squad list, up to 26 players, by midnight of 7 June to Uefa. The FA will then announce the final squad on 8 June.

Manchester City midfielder Rodri has suggested Arsenal are not mentally strong enough to win the Premier League, reports the Mirror.

Mowbray stepped away from his on-site management duties in February before taking a formal medical leave of absence in March.
"He has decided to focus on making a full recovery from his surgery and spending time with his family," say the League One club.

With the 21-year-old in the side the Magpies won 14 league games last term, but only kept one clean sheet. Like Lewis Hall, he has represented England from under-15 to under-21 level.

Was just about to suggest Lewis Hall for left back when Anon beat me to it. Alongside Livramento at right back, the two youngsters have been amongst our best performers at the end of the season.

Whilst we are suggesting Lewis Hall, what about Livramento? He filled in at LB for multiple games and looked very good.

Image source, Getty ImagesThe initial England squad will be unveiled at 14:00 BST today, followed by manager Gareth Southgate giving a media conference from St. George's Park.
While the final selection for Euro 2024 can contain a maximum of 26 players, Southgate can name more players today for his training squad.
The deadline for Southgate picking the final 26 is June 7.
However, Southgate may announce his final picks before this date - England's pre-tournament friendlies are against Bosnia-Herzegovina on June 3, then against Iceland on June 7.
Whether Southgate names his 26 before the friendlies, or gives fringe players a chance to impress against the Bosnians, remains to be seen.
Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle's Lewis Hall, 19, made 21 appearances for the Magpies last season, and has also represented England from under-15 to under-21 level.
He scored a consolation goal against Manchester United last week.

Anon: Why is no one mentioning Lewis Hall as an option at left back?
Image source, Getty ImagesDan Burn played 33 times for Newcastle in the Premier League last season.
The Magpies won 16 of those games and kept seven clean sheets. Burn also scored two goals and made two assists.
The 32-year-old has never made an appearance for England.

All the chat about left back and our centre halves appear to be a weak link, why not take Dan Burn? He can play both positions and hasn’t let Newcastle down all season, and he’s awkward to play against and gives an aerial threat, seems a no brainer to me.

The left-back area has been one of the problematic positions for Southgate. Newcastle's Kieran Trippier has played there in the biggest England games in recent times. He started the crucial match against Italy at Wembley to secure qualification for the tournament.
If every player was fit, Manchester United's Luke Shaw would be the first-choice left-back, but he has suffered a setback in his recovery from his latest injury.
Ben Chilwell has also struggled with injuries, and the Chelsea player did not totally convince against Brazil and Belgium.
Manchester City’s Rico Lewis won man of the match in his first England start and was called up as an injury replacement in the last international break, while Liverpool's Joe Gomez is another option following a recall afterfour years away last time out.
City's Kyle Walker seems an obvious starter at right-back, while John Stones and Harry Maguire seem the favoured starters at centre-back, with the latter expected to have recovered from injury.
If Southgate is looking for extra defensive options, Bayern Munich's Eric Dier boosted his chances after an impressive loan spell from Spurs. And of course there is the Ben White issue - the Arsenal defender has been a huge part of the Premier League's meanest defence but remains unavailable for selection.
Image source, Getty ImagesI'm liking all this left-back chat. Why don't we streamline our focus for a bit and see who Gareth Southgate may select...
And of course, we will get on to Pickford, Eze, Rashford, Henderson and more later don't worry!
England squad Euro 2024: Gareth Southgate explains his provisional squad
Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson have been left out of Gareth Southgate's provisional 33-man England squad for Euro 2024.
Manchester United forward Rashford, 26, has struggled for form this season, scoring seven goals and managing two assists in 33 league appearances.
He played in seven England games this season before being left out against Belgium in March.
Rashford shared a screenshot of the training squad on social media, with a message "wishing Gareth and the boys all the best" for the tournament.
Henderson joined Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia from Liverpool last summer but left them to join a struggling Ajax side in January.
Southgate continued to pick him following his move to the Saudi Pro League, though he was booed by some England fans on his first game back in the country, against Australia at Wembley in October, which the England manager said at the time "defies logic".
Henderson was in the squad for March friendlies against Brazil and Belgium but did not play.
Southgate will have to cut at least seven players when he confirms his final squad of up to 26 players for the tournament in Germany, with a deadline of midnight on 7 June.
Euro 2024: Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson left out of provisional England squad
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), James Trafford (Burnley).
Defenders: Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Jarell Quansah (Liverpool), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)
Midfielders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace).
Forwards: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), James Maddison (Tottenham), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Ivan Toney (Brentford), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa).
Uncapped quintet Jarrad Branthwaite, Curtis Jones, Jarell Quansah, Adam Wharton and James Trafford have made Southgate's initial selection.
Everton centre-back Branthwaite, 21, was key in his side securing Premier League safety this season, while Liverpool centre-back Quansah, 21, and 23-year-old team-mate Jones, who plays in midfield, helped the Reds finish third in the top flight.
Wharton, 20, impressed at Palace following his move from Blackburn Rovers in the winter transfer window and his team-mates Eberechi Eze, Marc Guehi and Dean Henderson have also been included by Southgate.
Trafford, who did not play for Burnley after being dropped in March, received his first England call-up in March after Sam Johnstone dropped out of the squad through injury, but has yet to play for the national team.
Other players to make the cut are West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen, Manchester City winger Jack Grealish and Brentford striker Ivan Toney, along with Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and left-back Luke Shaw.
Mainoo, 19, played in friendlies for England against Brazil and Belgium in March and has made 31 appearances for Manchester United this season, scoring four goals.
Shaw has not played since February because of a muscle injury.
The training squad will join up on Wednesday, 29 May prior to friendlies against Bosnia-Herzegovina on 3 June and Iceland on 7 June.
Southgate’s side will then open their Euro 2024 campaign with a Group C game against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on 16 June.
Apart from Rashford and Henderson, other notable absentees include Ben Chilwell, Eric Dier, Reece James, Jadon Sancho, Dominic Solanke, Raheem Sterling and Ben White.
Left-back Chilwell has not been picked, despite injury concerns over Shaw, while right-back James and winger Sterling - also of Chelsea - are absent.
James has only played two games since returning from a lengthy injury in May, while Sterling has not played for England since their defeat by France at the 2022 World Cup.
Solanke appeared in all 38 of Bournemouth's Premier League games last season, scoring 19 goals and registering three assists, while White has made himself unavailable for England duty.
Winger Sancho is on loan at Borussia Dortmund from Manchester United and, despite helping the German club to the Champions League final, has not been picked by Southgate.
Centre-back Dier helped Bayern Munich to the semi-finals of the Champions League and, even though he is again playing regular football after leaving Tottenham, has not done enough to make the list.
When Arsenal defender White wasn't selected for the March fixtures, Southgate said there was a "reticence from his side" and he did not know why the player had made himself unavailable.
Southgate said he had "no issue" with the player, but confirmed on Tuesday he had not spoken to him since.
White left the Qatar 2022 World Cup squad early for personal reasons, with reports saying he was unhappy and had fallen out with assistant coach Steve Holland.
Southgate denied those reports in March.
White's ability to play right-back and centre-back would have been crucial given the injury issues in defence.
BBC Sport football news reporter Alex Howell:
"White has only made four appearances for England - none in Qatar - and is a fierce competitor, but the view around him not caring about football or loving the game is incorrect.
It is true that being a footballer is not his complete identity and he does like to do things not connected to football when he is not at training.
What is clear is that White is playing the best football of his career in the meanest defence in the Premier League this season. With Reece James not making the squad and several injury concerns elsewhere in the defence, the depth at full-back and even centre-half is not what it once was for Southgate.
There was an incident with Steve Holland in a team meeting where a comment was made by the England assistant in front of other squad members. White and Holland did speak afterwards and Southgate made clear in the March press conference when White ruled himself out that there was not an argument or an issue between White and Holland."
