3 Major signings Arsenal can still make this summer

3 Major signings Arsenal can still make this summer
It looks increasingly as though Arturo Vidal will join Bayern Munich from Juventus for a fee of around £26 million plus £2 million in add-ons. He is, of course, a very fine midfielder, but he’s not somebody who obviously seems to fit Pep Guardiola's style of play. That raises two possibilities, both intriguing: Firstly, that, given Guardiola has only one year left on his contract, Bayern are already looking to a future without him, or that Guardiola is considering modifying his approach.

Yet in terms of the make-up of the squad, the two are clearly linked. It had been widely assumed that one of the reasons Schweinsteiger was allowed to leave was that Bayern have a glut of midfielders: Philipp Lahm, Thiago Alcantara, Javi Martinez and Xabi Alonso all play in that same central position. But with the arrival of Vidal, Martinez could be the next play to leave because of his injury woes.


Lacazette  is yet another player the gunners could snap up, It's a switch Wenger would be proud of. He engineered similar transitions from former wingers Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie. Both became prolific once they moved through the middle.
Reports in France claim that Arsenal have had Lacazette watched by scouts several times and Fournier's comments are unlikely to dampen speculation surrounding a possible move to north London.
Lacazette has certainly followed a similar path. He scored 31 times in all competitions for Lyon last season, according to WhoScored.com.
 Arsenal have been cleared to sign Karim Benzema, as Real Madrid are reportedly considering selling him. The Gunners are believed to be preparing a £17.8million bid for the France international forward, and Real are on the verge of letting him leave, according to reports in Spain
