Mikel Arteta and Arsenal have a huge few weeks up ahead with the Premier League title on the line, but the summer transfer window also looks like being a pivotal time

Arsenal have little margin for error in the title race, but Mikel Arteta's side have shown a willingness to keep pushing Manchester City as hard as possible as they look to end the season as champions.

The Gunners have three games remaining, against Bournemouth, Manchester United and Everton, while City - a point behind - have four. After finishing five points adrift of their rivals last season, Mikel Arteta's men have a shot at revenge.

Regardless of whether they finish top or come up short, this summer could be a pivotal time for Arsenal as they look to continue strengthening in the transfer market. There's a big question in attack, with the club potentially open to offers for Gabriel Jesus.

A replacement for the Brazilian would need to be identified, with four candidates being floated, but that's not the only topic of discussion. Here, Mirror Football looks at the latest lines from around North London.

Arsenal's Jesus successors profiled

If Gabriel Jesus is to leave Arsenal this summer, the Gunners will have to get the call right on his successor. There are four men reported to be in their sights, two from the Premier League and two plying their trade overseas.

It's a question of youth versus experience and one of whether they're prepared to break the bank. It would take big money to land Alexander Isak, and arguably a little less for Ivan Toney, but they aren't the only candidates.

If Mikel Arteta's side turn their attentions abroad, Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres have been named as potential targets. Mirror Football has taken a closer look at all four men, examining what they've achieved and what others have said about them.

Gunners learn position in wage table

The Premier League's wage table has been revealed, and it suggests Arsenal have been punching a little above their weight. While the London side sit top of the real table, they're just third for wages according to the financial database Capology.

Title rivals Manchester City are third on Capology's table with a weekly bill of £3.705million, some way clear of Arsenal's £3.298m. It's Manchester United out in front, though, with a £3.821m total.

United and Chelsea are the big under-performers against wages, while the three teams promoted last season - Luton, Sheffield United and Burnley - have the lowest wage bills. Bournemouth and Wolves are among the over-performers, sitting 10th and 11th respectively in the league table but 15th and 17th respectively when ordered by wage bill.

Lehmann queries Arteta call

Arsenal legend Jens Lehmann is still uncertain about Mikel Arteta's decision to elevate David Raya to first-choice keeper ahead of Aaron Ramsdale so early in the season. England international Ramsdale started the first four games of the season but has only played twice since, in games which Raya was ineligible to play against his parent club Brentford.

"I never ever understood the Ramsdale decision," Lehmann told The Mail. "If you have a good, brave English keeper at a big English club doing well and then you bring in a Spanish guy who has never played for a big club at that level – it just doesn't make sense.

"The 'keeper is the most important position in the team. If I were Ramsdale, I don't know how I would react because it's not easy at that age. When you're older, it's different."
