CM – Aaron Ramsey
Last term the Welshman shook off his reputation as an inconsistent performer and was named the club’s Player of the Season for his brilliant displays – particularly in attack.
CM – Yaya Toure
No midfielder scored more league goals than this 31-year-old last season with Toure netting 20 strikes in what was another fine campaign for the Ivory Coast international.
RM – Alexis Sanchez
It’s the first and only new signing in the XI as Arsene Wenger was moved to pay Barcelona £35m for this Chilean, who arrives in England with a brilliant reputation.
CAM – Mesut Ozil
Next up is the only man in the Gunners’ history to have cost more than Sanchez, with the 2014 World Cup winner setting the club back £42.4m in the summer of 2013.
LM – David Silva
Completing the three-man attacking midfield is a Spain international who has provided more assists in the English top tier than any other player since his arrival back in 2010.
