3.Dejan Lovren
The Southampton ship seems to be slowly sinking, and Dejan Lovren reportedly wants out of St Mary’s. Currently, Liverpool are favourites for his signature but if Arsenal wanted him then surely we’ll be able to compete with the Merseyside outfit for his services. On the whole Lovren is a cool and collected operator on the ball, who would be in-keeping with Wenger’s philosophy and is extremely happy in playing it out from the back. A player of this sort would seem to suit Arsenal to a T and with the prospect of Champions League football it wouldn’t be hard to persuade the Croatian to move to North London.
At 24 Lovren already has a lot of experience at the top-level, and would seem to be a natural successor to Mertesacker or Koscielny in the future.
projected fee: £12million
