3. Marco Asensio

The 26-year-old has reportedly been offered to the Gunners over the last few days. Having been linked with him a couple of years ago, Marco Asensio could be a move that Mikel Arteta could make.

He is equally adept at playing across the front three and has primarily been deployed on the left and right flanks while at Real Madrid, so he could be a viable option for Arteta as a backup to Saka.

He is in a similar mould to Martin Odegaard and Fabio Vieira, as he is more comfortable being the creative hub for his team. That might give Arsenal second thoughts, but adding a player of his quality, as we saw with Odegaard, could work out very well.
