A £6m bid for the defender has already been dismissed as derisory by Bolton but given Arsenal’s lack of solidity at the back and the 25-year-old’s apparent willingness to move on from the Reebok Stadium, a renewed attempt to sign the player is likely.

Arsenal have offered £22m for the holding midfielder having had an initial £15m bid rejected by his club Rennes. The France international should provide the team with much required tenacity in the centre of the pitch but Wenger will know he could have got him for a lower price given the 21-year-old only signed a fresh contract at Rennes, until 2015, in May Photograph: Bob Edme/AP

The South Korea striker is seemingly on his way to north London having failed to show for the second part of a medical with Lille. Arsenal have offered Monaco £10m for the 26-year-old, who featured for his national team at the most recent World Cup in South Africa, and expect him to arrive at the club by Wednesday Photograph: Pierre Andrieu/AFP/Getty Images
Chance of joining 3/5
The Spaniard has long been associated with a move to the Emirates Stadium with the speculation only intensifying following Cesc Fábregas’s departure. The 29-year-old appears to have stagnated somewhat at Everton after six years at the club and a move away could suit all involved. Arteta is, however, one of the best paid players at Goodison and is unlikely to receive a similar salary at Arsenal Photograph: Craig Brough/Action Images

The 20-year-old has just been named Ligue 1’s player of the season having inspired Lille to a French league and cup double and while the club’s general manager, Frederic Paquet, has insisted that he “will not be leaving”, an offer of between £30m-£35m is likely to secure the Belgian’s signature.

Arsenal had a £12m bid for the England defender rejected by Everton during the summer having offered an almost identical amount for the 29-year-old last season. A renewed attempt to prise the player away from Merseyside is possible but, given Arsenal’s gathering interest in Cahill, increasing unlikely.

The Sochaux midfielder is only 23 but has already been described by some as France’s best creative midfielder since Zinedine Zidane. This is partly because, like the World Cup winner, he scored twice on his debut for the France national team (in June’s 4-1 win over Ukraine). His talent is undeniable, however, and Arsenal are apparently willing to spend in the region of £12m for the player Photograph: Michel Euler/Associated Press

Another player who could add much-required steel to Arsenal’s midfield, not to mention Premier League experience, but the Belgian is deemed a key asset at Goodison and any offer is likely to be rejected by the Merseyside club. The 23-year-old, has, though, recently expressed his desire to play in the Champions League and will feel he has a better chance of achieving that goal at Arsenal Photograph: John Clifton/Action Images
Chance of joining 1/5
The France midfielder has won one Ligue 1 title, two league cups and the French Super Cup at Marseille but after five years, is now seemingly willing to move on, with the club also open to a bid for the player. “If you ask him about a big club, we would give him the opportunity to choose,” said the Marseille sporting director, José Anigo.
