How Arsenal could line up with new-look midfield if Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey leave

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side fell just short of winning a first Premier League title for 19 years this season, despite leading the table for more than 90 per cent of the campaign.

While the Emirates faithful can be immensely proud of how far their young side pushed Manchester City this term, it ultimately wasn't enough and as a result, Arteta has a number of big decisions to make over the course of the summer window.

His job looks like it may only get harder if rumours surrounding the exits of both Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey are to be believed. The former seems the more likely to leave imminently with a switch to Bayer Leverkusen in the works, but Partey could also be on the move amid interest from two Serie A outfits.
