Central midfielders - Partey, Sambi Lokonga, Elneny, Azeez
Dani Ceballos returning to Real Madrid and Granit Xhaka's impending departure to Roma means midfield is an area Arsenal need to recruit.
Albert Sambi Lokonga is set to join from Anderlecht but you feel Arteta needs to bring in at least one more to bolster his options in the middle of the park.
The highly-rated Miguel Azeez could find himself in a few matchday squads.

No 10s - Smith Rowe, Willock
Arsenal need to tie Emile Smith Rowe down to a new deal to ward off interest from Aston Villa.
The 20-year-old is a big part of the club's future and should be a regular again next season.
Joe Willock's performances at Newcastle last season could mean he earns a spot as Smith Rowe's deputy.
Wingers - Martinelli, Saka, Pepe, Willian
Willian remains in this squad, largely because Arsenal will find it difficult to find a club who would take on the Brazilian's wages.
Trending
Gabriel Martinelli could potentially be used as a striker if needs be.
Bukayo Saka and Nicolas Pepe should start the season in the wide areas.
Strikers - Aubameyang, Balogun
Arsenal's striker options could be limited if Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah both leave.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is going nowhere so should be first choice next term.
Folarin Balogun could get more of an opportunity, unless Arteta can find a striker he wants in the market.
