Others are a 25-year-old midfielder, Denis Zakaria, who has entered the last year of his contract at Borussia Monchengladbach and is yet to sign a new deal.

And 21-year-old Juventus’ versatile winger, Dejan Kulusevski who could provide the answer to Arsenal problem upfront with his ability to play as a right or left winger, at No.10, or even at centre-forward if required.
