It now an open secret that Arsenal are going after Man City captain Ilkay Gundogan should Granit Xhaka leave the Emirates in the summer.

2. Declan Rice
The West Ham midfielder potentially scored his last goal for the club in the past weekend against Leeds with several reports linking him to London clubs including Chelsea and Arsenal.
The Gunners are understood to have keen interest in the England international who has been consistent since breaking into the Hammers first team.
3. Mason Mount
The Chelsea midfielder seems to be going out of favour with the club that brought the best out of him in the last few years.
Mount is yet to sign a new deal that will expire in 2024 and potential suitors including Arsenal are interested in landing the 24-year-old at the Emirates.
4. Joao Cancelo
