Arteta eyeing move for Valencia star Soler

Arteta took the reins at Arsenal on December 20 after Unai Emery had been relieved of his duties but he didn't make any permanent signings in January.

The Spaniard drafted in Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares on-loan from Flamengo and Southampton respectively.

Reports suggest Mari could be added to the squad on a permanent basis this summer, while Cedric is set to be a free agent and could also be handed a long-term deal.

Arsenal have certainly improved since Arteta returned to north London and his summer business could depend largely on how they finish the campaign.

They sit just five points shy of fifth-placed Manchester United after enjoying an eight-game unbeaten streak and could still secure a spot in the Champions League.
