Arsenal have been scouring the market ahead of the summer transfer window as they look to bolster their squad. The Gunners are currently fighting for the Premier League title but they will need to recruit some extra firepower if they want to continue to keep up with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.
Some of Mikel Arteta's senior players have been linked with exits at the end of the season to help balance the books and raise extra cash for their own transfer shortlist. There are a few names Arsenal continue to be linked with but whether they will get the deals over the line remains to be seen.
We've put together a potential Arsenal starting XI based on recent transfer rumours and key players who will keep their spots in the lineup. The squad valuation has been calculated using transfer fees, reported asking prices and market values quoted by Transfermarkt.
