Arsenal’s perfect XI for the next season: Rodrygo and Viktor Gyokeres lead dream Arsenal XI ahead of Mikel Arteta transfer masterplan…

Mikel Arteta’s transfer vision, detailing Arsenal’s dream team for the next season with Bukayo Saka, Rodrygo, and Viktor Gyokeres.

Rodrygo and Viktor Gyokeres headline an ideal Arsenal XI as Mikel Arteta prepares for a transformative transfer strategy.

The envisioned Arsenal lineup for the upcoming season could take shape following three significant signings.

This summer, Arsenal is poised to enhance their squad as Arteta sets his sights on capturing the elusive Premier League title.

After three years of near misses, the team’s deficiencies are well-known. Many believe this summer’s transfer window represents a crucial opportunity for Arteta and his current roster.

The pressure to secure a trophy next season is mounting, as another season without silverware would be unacceptable for a club of Arsenal’s stature.

Conversely, some argue that as long as the team remains competitive and in contention for trophies, Arteta should not feel undue pressure.

Nevertheless, the sentiment among fans regarding the transfer market appears to be largely uniform.

In an ideal scenario, Arteta will receive the necessary support this summer, culminating in a squad brimming with talent, ready to face the challenges ahead.

football.london explores this potential reality and examines what the team could resemble at the beginning of the next season.

The defense is expected to remain largely intact, with David Raya donning the No.1 jersey and flanked by familiar faces: Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Any defensive acquisitions this summer will likely focus on adding depth rather than starting positions. A player like Jorrel Hato could be a fitting addition, given the club’s long-standing interest.

In the midfield, the anticipated signing of Martin Zubimendi is viewed as a strong possibility, with the club confident in securing the Spaniard this summer.

He will complement a midfield featuring Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. The most anticipation surrounds potential additions to the attacking line, particularly alongside Bukayo Saka in the front three.

Currently, Viktor Gyokeres stands out as the most promising candidate for the centre-forward position.

Arsenal has the chance to acquire the Swedish international at a reasonable cost, even with Sporting CP imposing a €100 million (£84.3 million) release clause in his contract.

Additionally, there is a market opportunity with Rodrygo from Real Madrid, who could thrive in his preferred left-wing position at Arsenal.

Proposed Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Gyokeres, Rodrygo.
