Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes his club will still be able to attract top talents even if they do not secure European football this season.
Arsenal are 10th in the Premier League and have missed out from Europa League, meaning that they will not play European football for the first time since the 1995-96 season.
But Arteta believes the club is still attractive for many top players.
“I don’t think we should bring players that need a lot of convincing,” he said.
“The feeling I get when I talk to a lot of people is that the players still want to come to the club because of the history, the way we do things, our values, the fans we have, our stadium.
“That’s a really attractive thing, that’s my feeling.”
They can still qualify for next season’s Europa League by defeating Chelsea in the FA Cup final.
