Arsenal disappointingly finished the season in fifth place and will play Europa League football next season. The Gunners were four points clear of Tottenham ahead of the North London derby earlier this month but defeat in that fixture handed all the momentum of Antonio Conte’s side.
The Gunners then lost their next league game to Newcastle before rallying to beat Everton 5-1 on the final day but it wasn’t enough to overhaul Spurs. However, the club has made significant strides this season under Mikel Arteta after finishing eighth in the previous two campaigns.
Arsenal failed to qualify for Europe for the first time in 25 years last time out so a return to continental football will be more than welcome for Arteta's side. However, their plans and transfer strategy for the summer will have to adjust accordingly as a result of missing out on a top-four finish.
