#3 Joao Moutinho

The elder statesman on this list and possibly the one who could add most to Arsenal straight away is AS Monaco’s Joao Moutinho. The Portuguese midfielder is a free agent at the end of next season and could come to Arsenal on the cheap this summer.
Having won the UEFA European Championships with Portugal and having been the guiding light for all of AS Monaco’s youngsters this season, Moutinho is someone any midfield would greatly benefit from having. His playmaking skills from the centre of the field are exceptional and his experience could help interested suitors.
Usually the one who’ll stay back and dictate play from there, Moutinho can add a lot to Arsenal in terms of letting Granit Xhaka, Francis Coquelin and Mohamed Elneny go forward more, knowing very well there is someone who is experienced to stay behind and take care of the back-four.
When on the ball, Moutinho is a true magician often sending long ones behind opposition defences and the sly through ones to the attacking midfielders. Given that he’ll cost between €10 million – €20 million, it’ll be a real bargain for the North London giants.
