What Arsenal need is reinforcement across their squad and Mikel Arteta will welcome back players who were hardly available to him due to injury. With that said, football.london takes a look at what a dream line-up could look like for Arsenal next season as they aim to end their title drought.
In goal, David Raya is indeed expected to arrive at the club on a permanent basis with the £27million option in his loan from Brentford being exercised. football.london has been told not to expect any surprises there with it being a matter of when rather than if the signing is rubber-stamped, but Aaron Ramsdale could still leave meaning a new No.2 will need to be found to push the starting stopper.
Into defence and any signings Arsenal make will find it extremely difficult to break past Ben White, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes. However, one player who is expected to break into the back four is Jurrien Timber and the magic of the summer signing from last year is the unpredictability about where it could be in that defensive line; for now, left-back looks a very strong potential option.

Bukayo Saka is the only player in attack whose place looks assured for the next season but Arsenal do need to find a competitor for the England winger whose injury issues are slowly catching up with him after excessive minutes in his younger years. Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli will be fighting it out on the left with little expectation that there will be a signing there.
Dream Arsenal 2024/25 XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Rice, Guimaraes, Odegaard; Saka, Trossard, Sesko.
