Arsenal are set for another transfer window where the focus will be placed primarily on overhauling the squad.
The Gunners began the process of shifting out many first-team players last summer who the club deemed surplus to requirements, along with adding young players who are tailored to the modern game and fit into Mikel Arteta's style of football, which is commonly known as positional play.
A clear area that the Spaniard will be planning to address in the summer is at centre forward and a whole host of names have been linked with a move to north London, one of which is Chelsea star Armando Broja.
On loan at Southampton, The talented 20-year-old has been a shining light for Ralph Hasenhuttl's side this season, scoring six goals for the Saints in the Premier League so far and former Newcastle United hero Alan Shearer has showered the youngster with immense praise.
"Let me tell you, this lad is clinical," Shearer told Premier League Productions.
"His goal against Brentford made him the youngest player in Premier League history to score in each of his first four home starts.
"As a striker it’s all about taking chances and scoring goals, so stats like this tell me he can thrive in the Premier League.
"He scores different types of goals, too. Against Leeds was a clinical finish - one you'd expect him to score - while the one against Burnley shows his ability to create space for himself to get his shot away.
"Against Brighton he particularly impressed me with his poise. Many would shoot [at first opportunity] but he takes the defender out of the picture before coolly slotting home.
"Broja is a young striker with an eye for goal and has a bright future in the Premier League."
Profile wise, Broja possesses really attractive attributes and has all the tools to become a top-class centre forward.
The Albanian striker is a serious threat when attacking spaces that are present behind the backline, particularly towards the channels, thereby dragging opposing defenders into areas they simply don't want to be in.
Broja is also a competent performer when tasked to drop deep between the lines and link attacks together, as well as being able to provide a serious threat inside the box.

It will be interesting to see if Chelsea decide to cash in on the young prospect and whether Arsenal increase their interest in the summer transfer window.
What is clearly apparent though is that Broja will be prioritising playing time according to his mother Blerina, which could put his future at Stamford Bridge in doubt should manager Thomas Tuchel decide not to offer him an integral role within the first team.
