Wright believes that if Arsenal don't sign a heavyweight in the summer window, they are likely to lose Bukayo Saka, Gabriel and Saliba. Arsenal currently sit second in the Premier League table, with Liverpool six points ahead of them with a game in hand. In addition, Arsenal were also eliminated in the FA Cup, losing 2-0 to Newcastle in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final. Wright worries that the lack of trophies could cause problems for the team, especially with three players whose contracts expire in 2027.
Commenting on this, Wright said: "We have to look at Gabriel, Saliba and Bukayo Saka, all of whom are out of contract in 2027. Even if you say you want to talk to them now, their agent will say that now they just want to focus on the current game because to make sure the players are in good shape at the World Cup. If Arsenal put these players into the final year of their contracts, then they will face the current situation of Liverpool. In addition, these players are in their playing years, and they all want to reap the glory rather than nothing. ”
Wright also pleaded with Mikel Arteta and his team to sign at least one big man and spoke about the ideal target.
Wright said: "Arsenal have to spend money, they need to sign big players in the summer. Merino and Calafioli have been very good but I'm not sure they will be able to keep Saliba, Gabriel and Bukayo Saka and they need to make reinforcements.
'These players also need to see Arsenal's actions and attitudes. I think Arsenal should be aiming for players like Musiala who will make Bukayo Saka, Saliba and Gabriel want to stay. In addition, Musiala will also look at the players in the target team when considering a transfer. ”
