Mauricio Pochettino's men had a very good 2018-19 season by being the Champions League runner-up and finishing in the Premier League top 4. With the addition of fantastic French central midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, the club will be looking to achieve a similar feat.

However, their defence next season may be an issue as they lost regular right-back Kieran Trippier to Atletico Madrid and left-back Danny Rose is also linked with a move away.

Furthermore, centre-back pair Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen have been slowing down over the past couple of seasons as they are no longer an ultra-consistent pair due to injury problems and Davinson Sanchez or Juan Foyth getting more playing time.

In total, the team should be good enough to get to the knockout stages of the Champions League and finish in the top 4 of the Premier League once again because they have fantastic attacking options and a rejuvenated midfield with Harry Winks, Moussa Sissoko, Victor Wanyama, Eric Dier and new signing Ndombele.


#3 Arsenal

Despite earlier reports of £45 million being Arsenal's summer transfer budget, the club may have spent over £100 million more than the inititially quoted budget, by the end of the window.

In addition to incredible right-winger Nicolas Pépé who arrived for a club record £73m, Arsenal have signed 19-year-old Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli (£6m), 18 year-old centre-half William Saliba (£27m, but will be loaned back to Saint Etienne for a season) and Real Madrid's midfielder Dani Ceballos on loan (£15m).

Furthermore, according to rumors, the club are close to completing a £25 million deal for a very promising young Scottish left-back in Celtic's Kieran Tierney.

Unai Emery's team may have improved in all three departments with the return of Rob Holding and Hector Bellerin set to strengthen the defence, Ceballos to provide different midfield options and Pépé to form an unbelievable trio with Aubameyang and Lacazette.

Therefore, next season, The Gunners have the potential to be the best of the rest after City and Liverpool whilst going one step further in the Europa League by winning the trophy.
