Marco Reus
The German winger is incredibly skilled and would immediately make the Gunners look more dangerous if Arsene Wenger opened his cheque book and signed the 25-year-old. Reus is currently refusing to sign a new deal with Borussia Dortmund so he could be available for around £25 million next summer.
Edinson Cavani
The Paris St Germain striker is reportedly unhappy at the Parc des Princes and might consider a move to the Emirates if he continues to struggle in the shadow of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
William Carvalho
The midfielder was linked with a move to Arsenal during the summer but a transfer never materialised. Carvalho is an excellent young defensive midfielder who would be a significant upgrade on the Gunners current holding player, Mathieu Flamini.
Gonzalo Higuain
The Gunners were linked with the Argentine striker last summer but Wenger decided he was too expensive. He may want to change his mind now as the Gunners really do need a striker who can break down quality defences.
Karim Benzema
The Real Madrid striker has been linked with a move to the Emirates before and could be available in one of the next two transfer windows. Wenger needs quality upfront and Benzema would give him that.
Sami Khedira
The German World Cup winner is reportedly ready to leave Real Madrid and Arsenal should be at the front of the cue for his signature. He would bring experience and calmness to the Gunners midfield.
