'Bring solutions, not the problem' - Mikel Arteta set for Arsenal performance review as Gunners build plan to end long wait for a trophy next season

Arteta intends to build a roadmap for success next season, which he will work on with the Gunners key staff, with an end-of-season performance review scheduled. The Arsenal boss has already revealed recruitment is set to be a key area that they must get right this summer.

Arteta said: "Our performance review goes every two months. That is the way we do it. Then we will see next week here with everybody that is involved. We will do everything that we planned and what actually happened. I will take all that and go to Spain, somewhere very quiet, and start to go through that with some ideas that I already have, with some learnings that I already took.

"It's about putting that into a plan, into a vision that you can straight away, immediately and as quickly as possible, start to pass into all the staff - so everybody is aligned and ready when they walk through that door to go and pursue the objectives that we have. That is the culture that we have created. Do it, do it in a respectful way. Give arguments, make sure that the context that you are saying it is not for your own benefit, but is for the benefit of all of them. Then bring solutions, not the problem. If you bring a problem, bring solutions to that problem because if not we just bulk in problems."

Arsenal are set to finish for the third consecutive Premier League campaign but are further away from top spot than they have been in either of the previous two seasons. A striker is said to be the club's key target with summer, with RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko the latest name to be considered a key target.

Arsenal complete their campaign at Southampton on Sunday, before Arteta can begin his planning.
