The transfer window may not be officially open yet, but that doesn't mean Arsenal's work hasn't already begun. Edu was able to build Mikel Arteta a top quality squad courtesy of around £125million investment last summer, and something even bigger could be on the cards this time around.
The Gunners will be playing Champions League football for the first time since 2017, and as a result Arteta will need a far deeper squad. One of the areas they look set to strengthen in is central midfield.
Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey both had largely impressive seasons, but the pair have both been heavily linked with exits. Albert Sambi Lokonga and Charlie Patino could also both move on. As a result here football.london takes a look at how Arsenal's midfield could look by the time September 2nd comes around.
