Arsenal keep or dump: Find Ødegaard replacement? Move Gyökeres and Havertz?

 Arsenal won their first Premier League title in 22 years and are into the Champions League final.

Hands down, this season has been a huge success on the pitch. After finishing second for three consecutive seasons, manager Mikel Arteta was able to get his side to the next level with some tactical tweaks and an ambitious (and expensive) summer transfer campaign.

Now, Mark Ogden and Gabriele Marcotti put themselves in the role of sporting director and try to answer some of the biggest questions facing the club right now.

This is the third in this year's Keep or Dump series, which examines the most pressing questions facing the Premier League and Europe's biggest clubs in the summer transfer window. Liverpool can be found here and Manchester United can be found here.

1. Mikel Arteta's contract expires at the end of next season. Should he be rewarded now with an extension (and a pay raise), or is it best to revisit in the autumn?

Mark and Gab agree: The answer is an obvious "yes" now that the season is over. There's no real argument that Arteta hasn't earned a new deal on the pitch.

While it's not necessarily critical that a new deal get done over the summer as opposed to the start of next season -- there's no real danger of him going elsewhere -- locking him in might help in the transfer window.

What will be important is a conversation of how he sees the club playing next season, because that will inform how Arsenal operate in the summer. In previous years, the Gunners were a far more free-flowing, attacking force. This past campaign, the club adapted, becoming more physical and conservative, and it delivered results. What's next?

2. Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Christian Nørgaard will all be out of contract at the end of next season. Are any of them worth extending this summer?

His huge wages make him difficult to shift, and the Gunners won't get much of a transfer fee (if any), but it's time to move on from Gabriel Jesus.

Martinelli, at 24, will have suitors, and it shouldn't be difficult to get a decent fee for him. Some will be sad to see him go, but his playing time and his performances both declined this season. And with fellow winger Noni Madueke around, those trends are unlikely to change.

We both like Trossard as his profile is different from the others. He'll be 32 years old in December, so if he's happy to stay without a new deal -- or open to discussing a deal in the autumn -- we'd keep him around.

Nørgaard hardly played last year, but he fills a specific role as "insurance" in the defensive midfield position. At 32, he won't fetch much of a transfer fee anyway and, if he leaves, Arsenal would have to replace him. It makes financial and sporting sense to keep him.

3. Arsenal spent a lot of money on Viktor Gyökeres last summer. Are he and Kai Havertz sufficient striker options? Or should the club move Havertz and bring somebody else to back up -- and maybe challenge -- Gyökeres?

Mark and Gab disagree on this one.

Mark thinks Arsenal should bring in another forward. Julián Álvarez is clearly a top target -- though Mark concedes it won't be easy as he's linked to Barcelona and other clubs and certainly won't come cheap. Mark would also keep both Gyökeres and Havertz.

Gab sees it differently. While Álvarez would be a phenomenal addition, who could also be an option down the left, he doesn't see how you can add him while keeping the other two.

Álvarez will cost a bundle and, if he comes, Arsenal would want to get some cash back by shifting Havertz. His residual value on the books is £24 million, but the club should be able to get considerably more than that, even though his wages will put people off.

The club needs a third option at center forward, but Gab is happy with a youngster or a cheaper veteran, even on loan.
