DC: Laurent Koscielny
One of the team’s best defenders, Laurent Koscielny has been linked with Real Madrid but is a vitally important part of this side and must not leave.
DC: Kostas Manolas
Possibly replacing Per Mertesacker, AS Roma defender Kostas Manolas has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium and would be a fine addition to help the club tighten up at the back.
MC: Francis Coquelin
One of last season’s breakthrough performers, Francis Coquelin’s fine form could convince Arsenal not to sign a new midfielder, with moves for Morgan Schneiderlin and Arturo Vidal seemingly off.
MC: Santi Cazorla
Another player who impressed in midfield, Santi Cazorla could continue this new deeper role next term despite rumours of interest from Atletico Madrid.
