A look at how Arsenal could line up if they land all their top transfer targets before the end of the summer, with three more signings tipped to be on their way…
GK: Petr Cech
Signed from Chelsea earlier this summer, Petr Cech is the new Arsenal number one in a strong-looking side.
DR: Hector Bellerin
One of Arsenal’s top young players, Hector Bellerin keeps Mathieu Debuchy out of the team in the right-back slot.
DL: Nacho Monreal
A superb defender, Nacho Monreal is one of the club’s most improved players of recent times and stays first choice on the left.

DC: Per Mertesacker
Captain of the side in Mikel Arteta’s absence, Per Mertesacker keeps his place in the Arsenal defence.
DC: Laurent Koscielny
Another important member of the Gunners’ back four, Laurent Koscielny lines up alongside Mertesacker in this XI.
MC: Asier Illarramendi
A new signing in midfield to replace Francis Coquelin after a poor game against Crystal Palace last week, Asier Illarramendi should prove an upgrade if he leaves Real Madrid and chooses Arsenal over Liverpool.
MC: Adrien Rabiot
Another potential addition as he looks set to leave PSG, Adrien Rabiot could be brought in and made first choice alongside Illarramendi in this strong midfield pairing for Arsenal.
AMR: Alexis Sanchez
Perhaps Arsenal’s best player, Alexis Sanchez’s place in the team is certainly safe as he takes up a spot on the right flank.
AML: Mesut Ozil
Moved out wide after a fine display there against Palace, Mesut Ozil can be a big influence on how Arsene Wenger’s side plays, wherever he starts.
AMC: Santi Cazorla
Moved forward to accommodate Arsenal’s two new midfielders, Santi Cazorla could be superb for the club in a number ten role.
FC: Edinson Cavani
A game-changing signing up front, Edinson Cavani could join Rabiot in leaving PSG for Arsenal this summer, in an exciting move to land the world class centre-forward Wenger so badly needs to replace Olivier Giroud.
