6) Julien Draxler – Schalke
The German wonderkid has been consistently linked with moves abroad, and Arsenal might give him the chance to replace his compatriot at the club.5) Juan Mata – Manchester United
Arsenal could try a shock move for Spaniard Mata, who has impressed at Chelsea and Manchester United, but has been forced out of the team at Old Trafford by Falcao and Angel Di Maria.4) Yohan Cabaye – PSG
The Frenchman has signalled his unhappiness at PSG over the lack of games he’s getting. He would provide much more defensive support than Ozil, reducing Arsenal’s need for another defensive midfielder.3) Marco Reus – Borussia Dortmund
It would need to be a massive bid to prise the brilliant Borussia Dortmund star away from his club, and with Bayern Munich closing in it won’t be easy. 2) Isco – Real Madrid
Like Juan Mata, Isco is another star who has been forced out of the team by big-name signings. He will be looking to reignite his career, and a place behind the strikers at Arsenal would be the perfect place.1) Kevin De Bruyne – Wolfsburg
The former Chelsea playmaker has an incredible 3.9 key passes per game – second only to Fredy Guarin in all of Europe. Would perhaps be the cheapest on the list, and is only 23.
