Arsenal are preparing to return to Premier League action after more than a month, but they will also be assessing targets ahead of the January transfer window.
Major changes will not be required for Mikel Arteta after such a promising start, but the Gunners need more depth in midfield, out wide, and potentially up top given Gabriel Jesus’ recent injury. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal are able to tick off all those areas given the amount of money they spent in the summer, but there are already links with the likes of Mykhaylo Mudryk, Youri Tielemans, Marco Asensio, Isco Alarcon and others.
But who would get into the Arsenal starting XI if some of those reports proved true?
We take a look below...
1. GK - Aaron Ramsdale
Arsenal’s undisputed number one.
2. LB - Oleksanr Zinchenko
Summer signing Zinchenko is likely to remain Arsenal’s first-choice left-back, with Kieran Tierney providing competition.
3. CB - William Saliba
Saliba has been excellent so far this season, and he will surely keep his place.
4. CB - Gabriel Magalhaes
Gabriel and Saliba have struck up a fine partnership so far this season.
