Arsenal transfer shortlist: 5 players Gunners could realistically sign before window slams shut

2. Grzegorz Krychowiak

Although Arsenal’s no.1 priority is to bring in a new striker, the Gunners are also in desperate need of another defence-minded central midfield, to provide competition for Francis Coquelin.

Sevilla star Krychowiak would cost around £22m, which is rather pricey, but the 25-year-old Poland international would give Wenger’s squad a huge boost.
