Arsenal’s stunning XI if they sign £57m pair.
A look at how Arsenal could line up for the second half of the season if they sign two of their top targets in a combined £57m deal.
The Gunners were quiet in the summer but now look set to make the improvements they need to their squad, with Arsene Wenger dealt the blow of losing both Jack Wilshere and Danny Welbeck to lengthy injuries…
GK: Petr Cech
Signed from Chelsea this summer, Petr Cech is now the undisputed Arsenal number one and looks a world class option in that position.
DR: Hector Bellerin
A terrific young right-back, Hector Bellerin is a great attacking outlet for this Gunners side.
DL: Nacho Monreal
Now ahead of Kieran Gibbs in the pecking order, Nacho Monreal has earned his place as Arsenal’s first choice left-back.

DC: Gabriel
After a fine start this season, Gabriel could be about to replace Per Mertesacker as first choice centre-back in this Arsenal side.
DC: Laurent Koscielny
Still a key player for Arsene Wenger’s side, Laurent Koscielny could form a great partnership at the back with Gabriel.
MC: Francis Coquelin
A superb young defensive midfielder, Francis Coquelin still looks to be first choice in this position, despite various big names being linked with moves to the Emirates Stadium.
MC: Santi Cazorla
Arsenal’s creative heartbeat, Santi Cazorla is now ahead of the likes of Mikel Arteta and Aaron Ramsey in the central midfield role alongside Coquelin.
AMR: Alexis Sanchez
In probably his best position on the right, Alexis Sanchez is surely set to star for Arsenal this season, but needs better players around him up front.
AML: Mesut Ozil
Moving to the left to accommodate new signings, Mesut Ozil can still be a highly influential player from this wider position.
AMC: Isco
Linked with a £22m move to Arsenal in January, Real Madrid playmaker Isco could become the team’s new number ten and would be a brilliant buy after long being regarded as one of the best young attacking midfielders in Europe.
FC: Edinson Cavani
A deadly striker, £35m-rated PSG front-man Edinson Cavani is being strongly linked with Arsenal again ahead of January, despite the Gunners failing with a move for him in the summer. Danny Welbeck’s injury is thought to have strengthened Wenger’s interest.
