ARTETA CAN TARGET BIG-NAME STARS

- RICH MILLS

MIKEL ARTETA says Arsenal’s Bernabeu triumph will give them a huge boost in their bid to land big-name targets this summer.

Arsenal thumped Real Madrid 3-0 at the Emirates in the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final and backed it up with a 2-1 win in the return fixture on Wednesday night in the Spanish capital.

The Gunners have been linked with Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres, RB Leipzig forward Benjamin Sesko and Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams. And Arteta thinks their Madrid success can make them even more attractive to prospective signings.
