Attack – Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez and Alexandre Lacazette

Arsenal are currently overstaffed in the forward department with as many as 8 options to choose from. A few departures are expected but that still leaves the Gunners with an ample number of attacking players to choose from.

However, if Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil do stay – as seems likely right now – then the Gunners will have a front three of Sanchez, Ozil and club record signing Alexandre Lacazette.

<p>

Ozil and Sanchez will be seen operating in the hole behind the striker with the former operating down the right, while the latter operating in his preferred left position. Lacazette will take some time to develop chemistry with his new teammates but once he is settled in, expect him to bury the chances created by those behind him.

Apart from the preferred front three, Wenger will most likely have Danny Welbeck, Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and Alex Iwobi to choose from and call upon as and when required, i.e., if Lucas Perez is sold and Chuba Akpom loaned out.
