Two of Arsenal's main transfer priorities hang in the balance this summer with heavy interest in several of their own dream additions. It is set to be a big window at the Emirates Stadium with key recruits needed in order to keep competing at the top of the Premier League and to adapt to the added challenge of Champions League football.
The centre of defence is an area being looked at for change and added depth but it is in the midfield that most of the work is set to take place. Granit Xhaka is set to leave whilst the immediate futures of Albert Sambi Lokonga, Emile Smith Rowe and Fabio Vieira are uncertain.
There are a plethora of elite-level options being considered, too. Mikel Arteta and influential director Edu Gaspar are keen to add Declan Rice to their squad but have also got Moises Caicedo and Mason Mount on their shortlist. Getting all three is financially improbable and would appear unfeasible.
