ARSENAL boss Unai Emery will try to stretch his shoestring budget enough to sign four new players, according to reports.
The Gunners chief has just £45million to bankroll a summer rebuild – and has to replace Juventus ace Aaron Ramsey.
BBC Sport transfer guru David Ornstein insists a centre-back, left-back, box-to-box midfielder and winger are the targets.
Emery is already closing in on some names, with talks ongoing over Celtic full-back Kieran Tierney.
Arsenal are yet to meet the Hoops valuation but Ornstein thinks a deal is close.
He said: "Left-back, they are continuing talks for Kieran Tierney. There is optimism around the deal that it will be done.
"They’re ready to go with medicals etc if they can strike a deal around the fee, but that hasn’t happened yet and Celtic will look to drive a hard bargain of course.
"They’ll look to create a market around him, drive the price up towards £25-30m, but some feel Arsenal can do it for under £20m."
Saint-Etienne centre-back William Saliba is another target with discussion taking place over a switch, with Shkodran Mustafi potentially heading out to raise some cash.
Ornstein added: "Arsenal have tried to sell Mustafi pretty much every window since they signed him.
"I was told that after the Europa League final that Unai Emery, who had always put his faith in Shkodran Mustafi despite a number of high-profile mistakes, has decided enough is enough with him and he is no longer in favour of keeping him, so he could be sold.
"Arsenal have tried to sell him almost every window since they signed him."
