Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has called on the club to back Mikel Arteta in the transfer window.

Arteta, who could deliver an FA Cup for the Gunners on Saturday, is at the start of a rebuild job at the Emirates Stadium and his first summer transfer window will be an important one.

Finances could be tight as the club battle the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and just how much they have to spend could be determined by the outcome of the final with Chelsea and whether Arsenal make Europe or not.

Arteta has a decision to make at Wembley, with goalkeeper Bernd Leno back in training after a knee injury.

Emiliano Martinez has filled in superbly for the Gunners and Seaman, who won the FA Cup four times with the club, is backing the Argentinian to keep the gloves.

"I would be very surprised if Leno plays. It is a huge game and Martinez has been brilliant and we have all seen how good he is," the former England goalkeeper said.

"It is not just all of a sudden, he has been out on loan to a lot of clubs and has done really well. He is 27 now, he has got a lot of experience. It is looking good. It is good for the club that we have got two good goalkeepers.

"On Saturday there is no question for me that Martinez plays because of how well he has been doing. You can't just put Leno back in for one game. It takes a little while to get up to match speed."

Seaman, a proud Yorkshireman, has launched the new ebook in celebration of Yorkshire Day. The region is well known for its savvy spending and the publication aims to help people be more 'Yorkshire' when it comes to their finances.

He said: "A lot of it is about what it was like when I was growing up, going to the chippy and asking for free scraps.

"We didn't have one penny too much when I was a lad. We didn't have an inside toilet or a bathroom until I was 14. To help celebrate Yorkshire Day, I thought it was a great idea."
