Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits their future could depend on academy talent.

Arsenal will have a limited budget this coming window after the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Arteta himself hinted that young players could be given a shot in his Arsenal squad next season.

"The trick here is to get them with the right environment around them - not to put too much pressure on them," said Arteta.

"We have a really young squad, a very inexperienced squad, and when you put that in certain parts of the pitch very close together, you can see that there are some deficits and the decision-making is not always the right thing to do.

"We are in a position that we have to accept that some things at the moment, in there, probably more than we would like, are going to be like that.

"That's the circumstances that we have but at the same time it's great because it's a great value for them to have these experiences and see themselves playing against that type of opposition."
