da apostebet: Arsenal enter the 2016-17 campaign with a strong squad.
da betway: However, their failure to win a title for so long suggests there’s still more to be done before they’re able to truly compete for league honours once again, despite their 2nd place finish last term.
Arsene Wenger’s position as manager has come under serious pressure as expectations at the Emirates have grown. So in order to return to glory, the Gunners need some reinforcements this summer.
Mesut Özil signed for a club record £42.5 million from Real Madrid in 2013. Since then, Wenger has refused to beat that fee by bringing in another marquee, world class signing.
Most would argue that the Frenchman will need to splash similar cash in order to keep his job, and this market you’d expect it to involve a club record fee.
So here are FIVE players Arsenal could smash their transfer record for this summer…
Marco Reus
Reus is one the world’s top wingers, although his injury problems have hampered his consistency.
The Borussia Dortmund product is worth more than £33million, and Dortmund have slapped a £60million price tag on the brilliant attacker.
Arsenal’s attack is one of the most dangerous in the Premier League, but they need one more goal-scorer to improve their title credentials, and Reus would be the perfect man to do that.
David Alaba
Arsenal need reinforcements at the centre and left back positions this summer.
Alaba can play either position, and he’s only 23-years-old. The possibility of a transfer to Arsenal doesn’t seem too preposterous— the Austrian star idolized Patrick Vieira and grew up an Arsenal fan.
But signing Alaba would come at a price — the versatile defender’s market value is estimated at £33.75m , but it will take much more to tempt Bayern in to parting ways with his signature.
N’Golo Kanté
No one burst onto the club scene this season quite like Kanté, who was crucial to Leicester City’s shocking Premier League triumph.
Now several clubs have aggressively targeted the Frenchman, thanks to his sensational box-to-box abilities and the way in which he keeps shape in the middle of the field.
Kanté’s well-rounded skill-set would fit nicely with the more offensive-minded Mesut Özil and Alexis Sanchez.
Aymeric Laporte
Aymeric Laporte is 22-years-old, highly talented and soon to be extremely wealthy.
Atletico Bilbao has stamped a €50m release clause on the centre back after gaining interest from Manchester City, but Arsenal need to enter the competition.
Per Mertesacker is 31-years-old and slowing down, and the club needs a long-term solution at the centre back position – Laporte is worth the hefty cost.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Forty goals and seven assists in 44 starts — not bad, right?
Aubamayeng absolutely burst onto the scene this year with Dortmund, fully taking advantage of Reus’ absence from the line-up.
Arsenal have shown high interest in the Gabon international, but now Pep Guordiola’s Manchester City have emerged as favourites for his signature.
That will undoubtedly infuriate Arsenal fans, who have been crying out for a player of Aubameyang’s qualities for some time now.
