Arsenal can sign one of six stars for Mikel Arteta transfer wish after Fabio Vieira decision

With Vieira sometimes covering for Bukayo Saka, it is clear Arsenal need another option out wide and football.london has taken a look at six potential signings.

Johan Bakayoko

The PSV Eindhoven star recently enjoyed yet another excellent season in the Netherlands with 28 goal contributions to his name. Unsurprisingly, interest from the Premier League has already arrived with Chelsea and Liverpool showing appearing keen.

Though he is predominantly a right winger, the Belgium international is capable of playing on the opposite flank. His preference to play on Saka’s side though, is a definite plus with cover needed in that position.

Ademola Lookman

Though he seems to be on the verge of joining Paris Saint-Germain from Atalanta, Arsenal are still in the race for Ademola Lookman.

The former Everton and Leicester City man stole the show in last season’s Europa League final and he now looks set to leave Italy. His preference certainly seems to be joining the French champions, but a move to the Gunners cannot be entirely ruled out.

Simon Adingra

Brighton finally look to be spending all the money they have received from big clubs for players over the last few years but that could still result in exits being needed with Simon Adingra possibly as one.

Arsenal have been tentatively linked to the 22-year-old and he would certainly be an astute addition, especially given the example they have from signing Leandro Trossard from Brighton.

Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter and Mats Wieffer have all arrived for big money with Ferdi Kadioglu also on the verge of joining. With several additions made in attack, given how the Seagulls are run, a departure could be considered to balance the books.

Raphinha

Arsenal were linked to Raphinha even before his transfer to Barcelona from Leeds United. And those have continued throughout his first two years at the Spanish club with their financial problems ever-present.

However, the Catalan giants have continued to try and sign marquee attackers with it therefore possible a departure for Raphinha late into the window, to make way for a new signing, could be completed.

Federico Chiesa

If anyone can get Federico Chiesa back to the top of his game, it could be Mikel Arteta. The Italy international is not part of Juventus’ plans under Thiago Motta and thus he is up for sale with interest from the Premier League present.
