Mikel Arteta is preparing for a huge summer ahead of him and his Arsenal squad. While the Gunners largely impressed in the last campaign, it wasn’t enough to secure a top-four finish.

The midfield could be a particular focus of Arteta’s, with there being little cover beyond the duo of Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey. With that said, here’s a look at a few different ways the side could line up with some central signings.
