Luis Suarez (Liverpool)

The Gunners spent most of last summer’s transfer window trying to lure the coveted Uruguay international from Anfield to the Emirates.

However, in the end the club made a right mess of their attempts to trigger the 27-year-old’s release clause in his contract with the Reds, and so the proposed £40m move never took place.

But boss Arsene Wenger is known to still be a huge admirer of the player and is expected to be closely monitoring Suarez’s movements in this summer’s transfer window ahead of re-igniting his interest in the South American. 

Loic Remy (Queens Park Rangers)

The highly rated QPR forward has just ended his successful season-long loan spell with Newcastle United, although the west London club are still understood to be keen to offload Remy when the summer transfer window reopens in order to further cut costs at Loftus Road next season.

And with the France international having also recently been spotted in the crowd at the Emirates watching an Arsenal match, tongues have been wagging of late that manager Arsene Wenger wants to lure the 27-year-old across the capital for the new campaign. 

Mario Mandzukic (Bayern Munich)

Rumours have been rife of late that the red-hot Croatia international will soon be on his way out of the Bundesliga champions now that deadly Poland international Robert Lewandowski is on his way to the Allianz Arena from arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund.

And if that is to be the case, then expect the north Londoners to push the boat out this summer in order to try to lure the 27-year-old to the capital, with Wenger known to be a huge fan of the marksman, although Arsenal will not be the only team in Europe however trying to persuade Mandzukic to join them for next season. 

Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)

The north London club have been closely monitoring the prolific France international’s situation at the Santiago Bernabeu for some time now, with Wenger having tried to sign his compatriot in last summer’s transfer window.

However, at that specific point in time, Los Blancos were unwilling to part company with the striker after having just offload fellow attacker Gonzalo Higuain to Napoli.

But that situation now looks like changing, with Madrid said to now be willing to listen to offers around the £30m mark for the 26-yeat-old. 

Julian Draxler (Schalke 04)

The Gunners have been chasing the coveted young Germany international for over a year now, with the Premier League giants coming desperately close to signing the 20-year-old in the January transfer window, only for the two clubs to be unable to reach an agreement over a suitable price for the player.

However, it is widely assumed though that Wenger will for Draxler at some point this summer and what is more, the experienced trainer intends to convert the attacking midfielder into a striker next season if he does succeed in landing the starlet.
