Arsenal's transfer priority is ostensibly central defence. Further incomings perhaps indicate a loan deal for Rob Holding. But would this be beneficial?

With Gabriel sold over the summer without the purchase of a replacement. His success at Valencia only worsens the shocking state at the back for Arsenal.
With Aaron Ramsey’s injury, Arsenal fans have seen Granit Xhaka operate with Jack Wilshere in the midfield. The early signs are promising.
With Arsenal looking to persist with a back three. Our strongest back-line needs to be set. Wenger has to decide between Monreal and Per.
With transfer rumours silencing significantly recently a midfield addition looks unlikely. Could Jack Wilshere make a return and impact Arsenal's midfield?
With Kolasinac and Lacazette locked up and Lemar seemingly nearing a move. Arsenal could complete their business early, but do we require another signing?
With Arsenal looking to strengthen in attack rather than midfield. This could be an indication that Oxlade-Chamberlain may get a chance in central midfield.
With a bid for Lemar being rejected and Alexis likely to leave the club. Arsenal could do a lot worse than pursue the talents of Riyad Mahrez.
The seemingly impending arrival of Lacazette may mean Arsenal has to ship out a forward or two. But the club should avoid selling both Perez and Giroud.
Arsenal signing Thomas Lemar looks possible despite reports of rejected bids. He may be an Alexis replacement but he could be the next Cazorla.
Francis Coquelin has come under a lot of criticism recently. Many are calling for his departure from Arsenal in the summer, but he still has a role to play.
