Arsenal legend Ian Wright has revealed the eight signings he wants to see Unai Emery complete in the summer transfer market.
The Gunners are gearing up for a crucial end to the campaign, as they tackle Chelsea in the Europa League final with a major trophy and a spot in next season’s Champions League up for grabs.
Qualifying for Europe’s elite competition would provide a significant boost to the club’s transfer budget for the summer and Wright has named the three ‘dream’ signings he wants to bring to the Emirates Stadium.
"Someone like Ben Chilwell. He is the kind of left-back who is getting better with every game. He's an England international now. Somebody that I'm sure is going to be sought after,” he told the Mirror .
"Then there is Youri Tielemans. He came over from Monaco. He's on loan at Leicester City and he's someone that - well there are loads of teams linked with him - but he's someone that you'd want to have.
"And Nicolas Pepe at Lille. That kind of winger with his intensity, pace and skill. Those are the kind of players that are definitely going to improve any team, if I'm totally honest. And they're at the age where they are going to be there for a few years. So that's a dream list if I'm being totally honest."
Wright also went on to speak about the players he anticipates will be offloaded this summer, selecting five names he believes have no spot in Emery’s side.
"We know that some players are moving out. Players like Danny Welbeck, David Ospina, Mohamed Elneny, Carl Jenkinson, Stefan Lichtsteiner. Those kind of players are moving out, if I'm totally honest.
"And if you look at what's going on at Arsenal, for me if there is no future for you and you haven't been playing as regularly as you'd have like, you should be wanting to be moved on anyway."
