How Arsenal could line up next season with Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba and Willian


Arsenal are set to compete for the Premier League title next season as they are looking busy this summer. Mikel Arteta has already signed Willian from Chelsea on a three transfer. Meanwhile, the £25m signing of Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes will provide competition for fellow left-footed centre-back Pablo Mari. He looks like an ideal partner for the right-footed William Saliba. Arsenal could line up in a back-three of Gabriel, David Luiz and Saliba next season. But Arteta is believed to be keen on playing a 4-3-3 formation long-term, with Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin the two full-backs. Emiliano Martinez is likely to start the season between the sticks as Bernd Leno is short on match fitness. In midfield, Arsenal will hope they can re-sign Dani Ceballos on loan as he formed a good partnership with Granit Xhaka last season. Thomas Partey is another player who could join in midfield, but right now Arsenal have currently not activated his £45m release-clause. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang may start on the left and Nicolas Pepe on the right, with Willian playing as a No10. (4-2-3-1): Leno; Bellerin, Saliba, Gabriel, Tierney; Ceballos, Xhaka; Pepe, Willian, Aubameyang; Lacazette.
