Here are seven options for the Gunners and how CaughtOffside ranks them.
7. Marcelo Brozovic, Dinamo Zagreb
The youngster is being closely watched by Arsene Wenger and his North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, but at 21-years-old it would be a big ask for Brozovic to come in and immediately solve the issues in holding midfield.

6. Christoph Kramer, Borussia Monchengladbach
To most outside of Germany this Gladbach ace is most famous for suffering concussion in the 2014 World Cup final, but Kramer is building a fine reputation for himself in the Bundesliga as shown by the faith put in by national team manager Joachim Low.

5. Sami Khedira, Real Madrid
Although Khedira is among the best midfielders in world football and is also being monitored by Chelsea, we doubt the 27-year-old’s credentials as an out-and-out defensive player and view him more of a box-to-box star and is therefore not perhaps what Wenger needs.

4. Grzegorz Krychowiak, Sevilla
Having only signed for Sevilla from Reims over the summer this Poland international has been drawing plenty of attention with his performances in La Liga, but at £20m Krychowiak would be an expensive import to England.

3. James McCarthy, Everton
Wenger has been a fan of the Republic of Ireland international since his days at Wigan Athletic and at 24-years-old McCarthy could potentially be in the North Londoners’ first team for years to come.

2. Lars Bender, Bayer Leverkusen
Constantly linked with a switch to England there are doubts over whether Bender wants to leave Leverkusen, but as a holding midfielder in the same vein as Claude Makelele the German could be the perfect solution to the problems at the Emirates Stadium.

1. Morgan Schneiderlin, Southampton
Top of the pile though for us is a player who’s reputation has really risen in the past two years and although is exceeding expectations at St Mary’s currently has openly admitted in the past he would like to leave for a ‘bigger’ club.
