Theo Walcott is fully aware that Arsenal need strengthening in some areas, and says that Arsene Wenger has already told the players that there will be some changes before the new season starts.

He believes that changes are needed if the elusive trophy will finally be coming after the clubs six year drought. He said: “Yeah I’m expecting players to be signed, the manager’s said so,”

“Hopefully we can keep hold of our best players, as we need to be winning something next season without a doubt. It’s been so long and the fans have waited so long. And players don’t like seeing every season go without winning anything.”

As for holding on to their best players, he thinks that whether Nasri stays or not is up to the player himself and shouldn’t be discussed by his team-mates: “I don’t like getting involved in people’s careers,” Walcott continued.

“We need to keep hold of our best players – but it’s up to Samir, it’s his decision. He had a great season, he showed people what he can do. He’s a very important player to Arsenal and we’ll see what happens in the summer.”

So Wenger has told the players AND the fans that he will be active in the transfer market. But the question still begs: Will he be just buying youngsters or will he buy some seriously good platers?
