Arsenal transfer rumours
GK: Petr Cech
With the London Evening Standard reporting that Arsenal want to replace Wojciech Szczesny with Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech next season, the Blues ace would surely instantly become first choice ahead of the Pole and David Ospina.
DR: Mathieu Debuchy
Continuing at right-back, Mathieu Debuchy will be hoping to start as first choice right-back if he can avoid the injuries that have plagued him this term.
DL: Nacho Monreal
Seemingly ahead of Kieran Gibbs in the pecking order at the moment, Nacho Monreal should continue at left-back for the Gunners.
DC: Gabriel
Signed in January, Brazilian defender Gabriel may replace Per Mertesacker as first choice next season after the German’s unconvincing recent form.
DC: Laurent Koscielny
Still a key player for Arsenal, Laurent Koscielny is likely to continue as one of the Gunners’ two centre-backs next season.
MC: Francis Coquelin
A highly impressive performer this season, Francis Coquelin deserves to remain one of Arsenal’s first choice defensive midfield players next year.
MC: Victor Wanyama
Linked in today’s Sun with a move to Arsenal from Southampton this summer, Victor Wanyama looks a good buy for Arsene Wenger’s side and would surely become first choice straight away.
AMR: Alexis Sanchez
A huge signing from last summer, Alexis Sanchez is a key part of this Arsenal side and looks likely to be first choice on the right flank next season.
AML: Marco Reus
Perhaps coming in on the left, Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus has been linked again with Arsenal in today’s Daily Mail and would make another exciting big-name buy for the club.
AMC: Mesut Ozil
Despite some criticism, Mesut Ozil has had a good season this year and will surely still be at the club as their main number ten for the next campaign.
FC: Aleksandar Mitrovic
With Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck unconvincing as long-term options, the Sun has also linked exciting young Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrovic with a summer move to the Gunners, and he could straight away be first choice to lead the attack.
