Mikel Arteta shares details of Arsenal review after another trophyless season

is ready to hold frank conversations with his staff to ensure hit the ground running next season. And as part of his honest and open post-season review, Arteta admitted he will even look at himself and where he can improve.

Arsenal are destined for a third successive campaign as runners-up ahead of today’s final game at . Their run ended with semi-final heartache and Arteta says it’s now vital that the Gunners continue to scale new heights to ensure they can go one better.

The Arsenal boss said: "I will do that (my own review) and I am not going to tell you what it is but I am going to do that for sure and I hope they do the same.

"Our performance review actually goes every two months. We will have one next week here with everybody that is involved. I will take all that and go to Spain, somewhere very quiet and start to go through that with some ideas that I already have.

"It is about putting that into a plan, into a vision that you can straight away, immediately and as quickly as possible, start to pass into all the staff. Then everybody is aligned and ready when they walk through that door to go and pursue the objectives that we have."

It’s a summer that Arsenal can ill afford to get wrong with planning for next term having already begun under new sporting director Andrea Berta.

A new midfielder is planned with Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi (below) hoping to be the first arrival. But it is in attack where at least one new striker remains a priority – and a debrief won’t be required to know that.

Arteta said: "We all talk – upstairs (in the boardroom), with the players and that is very transparent. That is the culture that we have created. Do it, but do it in a respectful way.

"You give arguments, make sure that the context that you are saying it is not for your own benefit but is for the benefit of all of them. Then bring solutions, not the problem.

"If you bring a problem, bring solutions to that problem because if not we just work in problems. So do that work, find it and then find a solution immediately and we can share it and we can make the right decision after that."

Arsenal’s players – next month’s World Cup qualifiers aside – will have the luxury of a rare summer off. It will offer the chance for their walking wounded to get themselves fit and firing and for Arteta to recharge his own batteries with some much needed R&R.

He added: "I enjoy it (the summer) because I know that I have given my best or very close to my best and I have put all the hours, efforts.

"I think we all deserve as well to recharge, to think about other things, to give time to our families, our friends and disconnect a little bit from this . But there is always that connection constantly because a lot of things happen in a football club that you have to pay attention to."
