Attack:
Going by reports from Italy today, Arsenal could be stepping up their interest in signing one or both of two top attacking players from Serie A last season. First in their sights is in-demand Torino forward Alessio Cerci, who can play either upfront or the flanks and whose style of play has seen him compared with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry. Second is AS Roma’s young striker Mattia Destro, who would likely be a direct replacement for Olivier Giroud as he faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines through injury. These players won’t come cheap, but look like making Arsenal’s attack a far more dangerous-looking prospect for the season ahead as they line up alongside the likes of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez in this exciting new-look XI.
