Midfield:
After a long summer of speculation, Arsenal will be hoping to finally do a deal with Sporting Lisbon for Portuguese midfielder William Carvalho, who is widely regarded as one of the top young defensive midfield players in Europe at the moment. The 22-year-old is valued at around £24m and has also been strongly linked with both Manchester United and Chelsea this summer, with United in particular looking like being major rivals for his signature. Still, a signing in this area is a must for Arsenal and Carvalho could make a good alternative to targets such as Sami Khedira and Morgan Schneiderlin that the Gunners have seemingly missed out on.
