Five Players Arsenal May Sign Next As Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Deal Is Confirmed
Arsenal’s debutants Gabriel Magalhaes and Willian helped the Gunners top the Premier League table after the first weekend – but Mikel Arteta could still bring in replacements as Hector Bellerin and Mesut Ozil are linked with exits.
Arsenal has already been busy in the transfer window – but the uncertainty over some players could see the north London side dip into the market again.
New defender Gabriel Magalhaes scored on his Premier League debut, helping the Gunners to a 3-0 win against Fulham to top the table. While Willian, who made the move across the capital from Chelsea, chipping in with two assists.
Mikel Arteta’s defence will also be bolstered by the arrival of teenager William Saliba, signing last summer from Sanit-Etienne before being loaned back for the 2019/290 campaign.
Arsenal has arguably done their most important business by signing captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to a new three-year deal.
But we’ve picked out five more signings that could improve the Gunners’ top-four chances even more.
David Raya
Arsenal have already seen a big departure between the posts, with Emiliano Martinez set to end his nine-year stay in a move to Aston VillaArsenal Goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez Waves Emotional Goodbye To Arsenal Ahead Of Aston Villa Transfer.
Bernd Leno took up his space as No.1 again at Craven Cottage while his understudy will now be Matt Macey.
And it has seen them chase Brentford shot-stopper Raya, whose 16 clean sheets in 38 Championship games helped the London side reach the play-offs.
The Spaniard has only spent one season in west London, moving from Blackburn – but his Golden Glove-winning season has piqued Arteta’s interest.
Leno’s injury against Brighton in June could have been disastrous but Martinez stepped up valiantly. If he goes, Raya could be the ideal replacement after such a strong season.
