Arsenal badly need a new fullback and a world-class forward…

Although Arsenal’s form has picked up in recent weeks, their season cannot be regarded as a complete success – even if they do win the FA Cup and clinch fourth spot – because at Christmas time, they were very much in the title race.

As a result, the manager is expected to enter the transfer market this summer, and here’s the positions we think he most needs to strengthen.

Goalkeeper

Wojciech Szczesny is an able first-choice goalkeeper, but his understudy Lukas Fabianski is leaving at the end of the season when his contract expires.

Arsene Wenger may choose to bring in a top level stopper to challenge Szczesny for the no.1 spot, or sign a solid, experienced one who will be content to sit on the bench..

If he chooses the first option, Real Madrid’s superstar Iker Casillas might be available. The World Cup winning Spaniard has not been selected consistently in Spain for around 18 months now.
