A confirmed Premier League goalscorer with nearly all of his profession nonetheless left to play, you’d be onerous pushed to discover a candidate extra suited to main the road than the Brazilian. Notoriously harmful within the field, he’s equally snug with the ball at his ft which is able to swimsuit fellow compatriot Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka within the vast areas.

Youri Tielemans (Strongly Rumoured)

A place the place Arteta will nearly definitely must bolster is within the centre of midfield, and though Mohamed Elneny stuffed in expertly in Thomas Partey’s end-of-season absence, there was a regarding lack of creativity aside from Odegaard who operates in a extra superior position.

Youri Tielemans has been strongly rumoured to be heading for the exit at Leicester this summer time, and Arsenal completely should purchase his companies. In what might develop into a mere £35million deal, the 25-year-old matches Arsenal’s youthful switch coverage whereas bringing confirmed Premier League expertise, a knack for goalscoring in addition to a pure starvation to be on the epicentre of his facet’s build-up play.

Lisandro Martinez and Raphinha (Strongly Rumoured)

The French Ligue 1 participant of the 12 months final 12 months for Marseille brings tempo, energy and youth to an already younger defence, however Arteta is seemingly not stopping there.

Ajax’s proficient central defender Lisandro Martinez has reportedly been the topic of an improved £40million bid from Arsenal at the moment, and the 24-year-old Argentine brings a distinct dimension to the remainder of the present choices. Though extra slight than most, Martinez is extremely versatile and may function as a full-back in addition to a defensive midfielder, drawing comparisons to Ben White.

Elsewhere, Leeds’ mercurial winger Raphinha has reportedly already been the topic of a bid from the Gunners which was rejected, however they’re anticipated to return with an improved determine which might beat back different potential suitors in Barcelona and Chelsea.

The 25-year-old once more suits the mould of a younger, promising technical attacking expertise with confirmed expertise in England, and would offer some a lot wanted potential for rotation after a strenuous season for the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

Whereas it stays to be seen as to who shall be Arsenal’s subsequent everlasting captain after Alexandre Lacazette’s departure, Martin Odegaard has emerged because the more than likely candidate after a panoramic season. Though definitely a facet to his recreation many had not realised, the Norway captain brings distinctive management qualities to the pitch and Mikel Arteta clearly locations lots of religion within the 23-year-old, who can typically be seen speaking together with his supervisor on the sideline.

The Gunners possess the youngest squad within the league by some measure, however inserting all of the accountability on homegrown skills in addition to incoming prospects is greater than paying off. One of the best instance of that is Eddie Nketiah who was seemingly heading for the exit this summer time.

Nevertheless, together with his facet misfiring in the direction of the tip of final season, Arteta put his belief within the 23-year-old who confirmed his price with essential braces towards Chelsea and Manchester United, incomes him a contemporary five-year contract.

Power in Depth

Once you have a look at the likes of Manchester Metropolis and Liverpool, the important thing to their success lies of their energy in depth. They’ve gamers in every place who can fill in and deputise in the identical precise system.

If Arsenal do safe all their targets listed above, they are going to be immeasurably extra ready  than final season, which noticed their kind drop off when it mattered most.

The signing of Fabio Vieira signifies a critical push for additional depth – the Portuguese starlet is the same sort of participant to Emile Smith-Rowe and Martin Odegaard albeit together with his personal distinctive qualities, and though he definitely gained’t be a starter right away, he offers some desperately wanted depth within the superior midfield position.

The one worrying place is Kieran Tierney’s substitute, with back-up left-back Nuno Tavares seemingly nonetheless very uncooked. Regardless of this, the Gunners will surely have gamers able to stepping in in practically each place, one thing Manchester Metropolis and Liverpool have slowly been constructing during the last 5 years and past.
