Arsenal’s Summer Transfer Needs
Arsenal need to sign at least five players this summer:
A right-back
A winger
A central midfielder or defensive midfielder
A center-forward
A left-back
It is obvious that Arsenal need to invest in the transfer market to give us enough options to be challenging on all fronts next season, including at least qualifying out of the Group Stages in the Champions League. Here is the players I would suggest to fill those roles….
Right-back
Mohamed Simakan is a good option for right-back. He is available for €30 million and can also play as a center-back.
Winger
Michael Olise or Leon Bailey would be good options for winger. They are both available for around €25 million.
Central midfielder or defensive midfielder
Arsenal need to sign a central midfielder or defensive midfielder to replace Granit Xhaka. Youri Tielemans is a good option and he is available on a free transfer.
Center-forward
Arsenal need to sign a center-forward who can score goals. Dušan Vlahović, Youssef En-Nesyri, and Aleksandar Mitrović are all good options.
Left-back
Pervis Estupiñan is a good option for left-back. He is available for around €20 million and can also play as a center-back.
Total cost
The total cost of these five players would be around €200 million. However, Arsenal could recoup some of this money by selling players such as Shkodran Mustafi, Pablo Mari, and Lucas Torreira.
With these five signings, Arsenal would have a much stronger squad and would be able to compete with the top teams in the Premier League and Europe.
