15. Lukas Podolski
Not a certainty to start for the North Londoners anymore, the Germany international is still a hugely experienced forward who can play on the left or as a more traditional striker.
14. Mikel Arteta
The vice-captain at the Emirates and a midfielder who has struggled at times with his more deeplying role and could well have to fight for a place in the starting XI.
13. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Spent a large chunk of the last campaign on the sidelines due to a cruciate ligament injury, but the 20-year-old has shown enough glimpses of his impressive talent.
12. Kieran Gibbs
When Gael Clichy was sold to Manchester City in 2011 Wenger declared that no new left-back was needed because of Gibbs and the Englishman has shown that faith was right.
11. Jack Wilshere
The England international’s progress hasn’t been as prolific as hoped since he burst onto the scene, but at 22-years-old is still a fine midfielder.
