Mikel Arteta will be forced to rely on the talented youngsters at Arsenal as it becomes more evident by the week that his first summer transfer window in charge will be nothing like that of his predecessor Unai Emery's.
The Gunners will feel the repercussions of the global coronavirus crisis, while their extended absence of Champions League football continues to hit them in the pocket.
Arsenal spent £140m on new signings under Emery nine months ago - recouping nearly £50m in sales - but will not sanction such a spend again this summer.
The Arsenal Supporters' Trust have predicted that Arsenal could record a loss of £19m on the year ending May 2020 if the final matches of the season are held behind closed doors.
