This summer represents another time for teams to buy and sell players in the transfer market.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding when this season will end and when the transfer window would open, the market will open at some point and Arsenal, like any other top club will be looking to do some significant business.
Here are the players I think might become available for Arsenal to buy from their rivals.
Divock Origi
With Liverpool pursuing a deal for Timo Werner, there would be no space for Origi in the team again and I expect him to ask to leave Anfield.
Origi is one of the few players who knows how to score crucial goals for his team and it would be a coup if we can land him.
Jesse Lingard
Jese Lingard faces increasing competition for places at Manchester United. If the Red Devils sign Jack Grealish, then that would make him available for any team that fancies him.
I doubt if he is of the quality that Mikel Arteta needs, but he would be available to move teams.
David Silva
David Silva is out of contract at the Etihad at the end of this season and the Spaniard is probably the best free agent on the market because of his quality.
He would be looking for a move away from the Premier League, but I hope that Mikel Arteta can convince him to give us at least one season.
Pedro
Chelsea’s Pedro is also into the final few months of his current deal at Stamford Bridge.
The Spaniard has had a trophy-laden career and I think that he might still have a few years left in him.
Moving across to Arsenal should be easy, but Arsenal hasn’t shown interest in him at the moment.
An article from Jacob B
Who is Lingard?? Arsenal will be desperate to go for him. Not quality. We will be the laughing stock of ManU fans
Lord Lingaard is world class….he scores, he assists and he wins
hes a must have in everyone’s Fifa Team
Though much of this debate is academic because of the certain, IMO, huge delay before next season even begins, the one I would LOVE to have in our shirt is, obviously, Silva. Still a great talent with perhaps two more seasons at top class Prem level. Of course it will never hapen though but even I can fantasise at times.
Don’t buy +30 guys like Silva, or useless guys like Lingard. Buy young promising players between 20 and 25. Guys with a future. Not corpses like Smalling, Willian, Lovren etc. I wouldn’t have them for free. But if Man U, Chelsea. Liverpool offered us money to take care of them… Maybe. Let’s say from £25m to £40m for each old boy or useless brat. That could be a way to earn money for the clubs activities. I’m sure that they always can sell programs or hot dogs on match day.
If Arteta buys one of these guys, then I’ll start to doubt his capabilities. Pedro, Willian, Smalling, Boateng, Lovren have passed their prime
