Xhaka and Lokonga out, Zinchenko and Tielemans in: How Arsenal's midfield could look next season

The transfer window hasn't even opened yet but it seems pretty clear where Arsenal are going to look to strengthen. The departures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette mean that they are short in the centre forward position.

This area of the squad proved to be a problem for the Gunners last season, as they were comfortably outscored by local rivals Tottenham and arguably missed out on the final Champions League qualification place as a result. Title winners Manchester City meanwhile scored 38 goals more, and it's clear that something needs to be done to address the gap.

football.london understands that Edu is working on a deal to bring Gabriel Jesus to the Emirates, while Gianluca Scamacca, Tammy Abraham and Darwin Nunez continue to be linked. It could be argued though, that improving the midfield is also an important issue for Mikel Arteta's side to address this summer.
