We asked for your thoughts on a potential Arsenal move for defender Dean Huijsen this summer.
Here are some of your comments:
Tharun: It seems like a bad idea to mess with Saliba and Gabriel, but I thought Calafiori was a silly signing and that Merino was pointless. I guess I was proven wrong. Moral is don't doubt Arteta.
Martin: I thought Huijsen would be a target for Liverpool or Real Madrid, but Liverpool just renewed Van Dijk and Real Madrid became less attractive recently. Huijsen would be great long-term cover for Gabriel and Saliba, eventually replacing one of them. Maybe we'll cash in on Saliba in a few years...
Kalii: It's good that Arsenal are being linked with players who are linked to other top clubs, but I don't think they need Huijsen. Saliba and Gabriel are the established first two and I believe Kiwior has put in a good showing. Arsenal should save their money for a centre-forward who I believe they will definitely get this summer.
Alec: Why do we need another defender? The whole season we've said, 'please a striker and we'll win' - and now Arteta's hunting for more defenders? Are we trying to go from Left-back FC to Centre-back FC?
Initial reports have indicated Huijsen has a £50m release clause - information that has been confirmed by multiple BBC Sport sources.
It is understood that while regular playing time to ensure his continued development will be a key consideration for Huijsen when he comes to settle on his future, the prospect of Champions League participation will also be a factor.
Arsenal central defensive duo William Saliba and Gabriel have been mainstays of Mikel Arteta's team and while the Gunners have an interest in Huijsen, breaking up that formidable partnership could prove a tall order.
So, what do you think about a potential move for Huijsen? Is the 20-year-old an exciting target? How do you feel about the £50m release clause? Would he be the right fit for Arsenal or should they be looking elsewhere?
Sutton's predictions: Arsenal v Crystal Palacepublished at 09:17 23 April

A lot depends on Mikel Arteta's team selection here and how he manages the minutes for Arsenal's players, but he went strong against Ipswich at the weekend and, even when it was 11 versus 11, that wasn't a contest.
The Gunners have got the weekend off before they face Paris St-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday, so I think Arteta will go pretty strong again here.
Crystal Palace had to play the second half with 10 men against Bournemouth on Saturday but still held on for a point, which was important after they had taken a couple of wallopings from Manchester City and Newcastle.
The Eagles conceded five goals last time they faced Arsenal, at Selhurst Park before Christmas, and it is tough to see them getting anything out of this game.
I don't see Arsenal doing as much damage this time, but it should still be a comfortable win for them.
Along with Manchester City and Liverpool, the Gunners are eyeing Bayer Leverkusen's 21-year-old Germany attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, who is valued at about £103m. (CaughtOffside, external)
Arteta on injuries, players' 'rhythm' and Palacepublished at 16:26 22 April

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Premier League game against Crystal Palace at Emirates Stadium (kick-off 20:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
It is "nothing too serious" for Bukayo Saka after being on the receiving end of a poor Leif Davis challenge on Sunday at Ipswich.
Riccardo Calafiori and Jorginho are unavailable, with Arteta "hopeful but not certain" that the latter will return before the end of the season.
On "wanting to wrap his players up in cotton wool" before the Champions League semi-final, Arteta said: "We cannot think in those terms. When the players are fit and available and want to play, they have to play. They are at their best when they are playing and they have consistency in their performances, and physically and emotionally they are good. They have the rhythm and that is when they are at their best."
He said he will be "sensible with decision-making" and seek guidance from his wider team before selecting his line-up.
He praised Martin Odegaard for his "exceptional" performance against Ipswich, in which he came out on top for the majority of match stats.
On opponents Crystal Palace: "They are a really good side who have a really good record away from home. They are really tough opponents. They are very competitive so tomorrow we are going to have to be really good."
He denied that their incentive to win on Wednesday is to delay Liverpool's title party and said: "Our incentive is to win our game and do our best to continue the run we are on at the moment. The rest we cannot control."
He said "it's good to have a little gap" in between the Palace match and the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Paris St-Germain "because we are really short in numbers".

Arsenal have won their past five Premier League games against Crystal Palace, netting five goals in both of the past two.
Having been unbeaten in four Premier League away games against Arsenal between 2019 and 2021 (won one, drawn three), Palace have lost their two league visits to Emirates Stadium by an aggregate score of 9-1.
However, under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's worst month for Premier League points per game at the Emirates is in April (18 in 12 games - 1.5 points per game), losing more games in that month (four) than in any other.
'Waiter, hand me a spoon - time to eat humble pie'published at 12:33 22 April

It felt somewhat bittersweet as the final whistle blew on Sunday, all but cementing Ipswich's relegation to the Championship, and further solidifying Arsenal's grip on second place.
In a season plagued by injuries, this was the first time in months that Ben White, Bukayo Saka, and Martin Odegaard had all taken to the field together. The Gunners returned to their scintillating attacking form - a painful reminder of perhaps what could have been this season if key players had been able to stay fit.
But there was another player at the heart of this attacking resurgence.
A few weeks back, I wrote that Gabriel Martinelli had but a few weeks to prove his worth to Arsenal, lest he be sold in the summer. Waiter, hand me a spoon please, because it's time to eat some humble pie.
It was Martinelli's brilliant breakaway goal on Wednesday against Real Madrid that sealed Arsenal's place in the Champions League semi-finals, and it was Martinelli on the end of a sumptuous Arsenal move to score the second against Ipswich.
He has looked like a man on a mission these past few games, and it will be an increasingly difficult conversation in the summer as to whether Arsenal will still need an upgrade.
Martinelli's resurgence is further proof of how unpredictable and inconsistent this season has been for Arsenal. Leandro Trossard's double at the weekend is also evidence that Mikel Arteta's side, even with their injuries, should have had enough to remain within touching distance of Liverpool.
There are many moments supporters will look back on this season and ask 'what if'.
But the post-mortem can wait. We have a semi-final to look forward to, and Martinelli is back to his very best.

Matthew: Pathetic. Sums up the whole season. I don't think we have given it a good go at all. We should have defended for our lives from the off, not try to play like we did in the Championship. Very disappointing season, aside from Liam Delap.
Bob: The class difference was so obvious. It was a very one-sided game. I'm sorry to say this as a Ipswich supporter and having been on such a wonderful journey after being promoted twice. But with only four wins the whole season and having 77 goals scored against us, we can't hide from the facts. It's been an extremely disappointing season. But being a glass half full person , we can rebuild with Premier League players, and have the added bonus of playing Norwich twice.
Tim: Beyond the obvious headlines, look at Axel Tuanzebe. He was exceptional. Cool, professional and trustworthy. Under threat constantly and dealt with that so well. Class act.
Arsenal fans
Pat: First class performance on the back of two great results in the Champions League, but needed to get back to winning ways in the Premier League. The energy didn't drop from the first whistle to the last. Excellent performance - the future looks very promising.
Tim: Dominant performance. Attack versus defence for most of the match and felt like watching a training game, which suits us just fine. Great opportunity to give minutes to players like Ben White to help their return. Hopefully no damage to Bukayo Saka and he is fit for the PSG games.
Terry: Dominant against poor opposition. The Ipswich sending off made no difference. Too much fussing around in the box where shooting chances were in abundance. Keep the rhythm going, take the chances and finish the final league games with a flourish. Full of confidence going into the PSG games.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to BBC Match of the Day after the 4-0 victory against Ipswich: "Our first 35 minutes were exceptional, we scored two and could have scored more but the sending off changed the game.
"It was an opportunity to play some players who have not played so much so a lot of positives from this afternoon."
On Bukayo Saka injury status after bad tackle: "He was sore because of the tackle but it doesn't look anything serious."
On Leandro Trossard: "He looked very sharp. We know his quality, put him right, left or centre and he will deliver."
On delaying Liverpool winning title: "All we can do is delay that moment and from our side earn the right to finish as high as possible."

Gabriel Martinelli scored his 50th goal for Arsenal across all competitions, becoming the fourth-youngest player in the Premier League era to reach this milestone for the Gunners (23y 306d), after Bukayo Saka (22y 159d), Cesc Fabregas (23 y 134d), and Theo Walcott (23y 235d).
