Arsenal Manager Says Team Needs More Individual Attacking Quality After Champions League Final Loss

The team kept PSG to a low number of non-penalty expected goals but could not generate enough attacking chances of its own. Mikel Arteta said the squad needs more "individual action" in attack. The team ranked among the league leaders in set-piece goals and maintained strong possession numbers throughout the season. Over the past four Premier League seasons, Arsenal scored 319 goals.

The club has tracked PSG forward Bradley Barcola and Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez. Both players are also linked with other top European clubs. Arsenal has also monitored Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi and Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers. Neither Bournemouth nor Aston Villa wants to sell key players ahead of next season.

Arteta said the club will need to act "very fast and very smart" to secure the required additions.
