Arsenal forward Robin van Persie has called on the club to keep their top players this summer and avoid a repeat of the major departures of a year ago.
The Gunners lost Mathieu Flamini, Alexander Hleb and Gilberto Silva at the end of last season, and Van Persie has stressed the importance of keeping the current squad together.
Gael Clichy is on Real Madrid's radar, according to Spanish sources, while Emmanuel Adebayor has endured a frustrating season, but Theo Walcott has agreed a new deal and Van Persie is expected to do the same.
"The main thing for me is that we stay together," Van Persie said. "If we lose three or four every year it is hard to get the spirit in. Hopefully we can stay here and have a real go at it.
"If we can produce games like we did this year there is room for improvement - if you look at our midfield it is between 20 and 22."
Centre-back Kolo Toure has hinted that he is ready to pledge his future to the club and play his part in keeping the squad together.
