Which of these five superstars could Arsenal sign this summer?

It has become customary for Arsenal, 22/1 to win the Champions League this season, to sign fantastic players every year. After they paid off their stadium debt a couple of years ago, there followed number of lucrative acquisitions. Mesut Ozil’s arrival at the end of the 2013 summer transfer window sparked the message that Arsenal were finally back. With Alexis Sanchez following a year later they put themselves level with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City.

As a result, fans have gone on to expect flagship recruits. However, following the signing of a number of attacking personnel, is the time right to think about bringing in quality further back. Coral analyse five possibilities for this summer in the transfer window; inevitably there are a couple of attackers in the list.

Sven Bender
Dietmar Hammann recently suggested that Arsene Wenger should sign one of the Bender twins after recent reports that the Gunners were linked with Borussia Dortmund teammate Ilkay Gundogan for as little as £16m. The former Liverpool player has said one of the Bender twins would be a better alternative to Gundagan to their more no nonsense style, adding the steel that Arsenal need. Sven’s brother Lars currently plies his trade for Bayer Leverkusen, though is slightly more attack-minded than his twin, in the shape of a box-to-box midfielder.

Should Wenger manage to sign Gundogan on the cheap in January and follow it up with a successful move for his Dortmund teammate, this would provide a very effective midfield screen for years to come, though might put the noses of Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere out of shape.

Sergio Busquets
Ambitious, though it would signal that Arsenal have arrived; however, a signing of this magnitude, if they could tempt him to the Emirates could also suggest that Barcelona are relinquishing their crown of one of the best teams in Europe.

Busquets, 26, has been vital to Barca’s success over the past few years, but new boss and ex-player Luis Enrique seems to have his own views on who should be in the team.
