With reports suggesting that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has asked for seven signings, here are some top stars who have been linked with a move to the Emirates ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
The Spanish manager has overseen something of a squad overhaul since taking charge of the Gunners in 2019, with a number of high-profile names being shown the door, including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mesut Ozil and David Luiz.

Ahead of the 2021/22 campaign, Arteta brought in five new faces who have helped his side launch a fight for a spot in the top four.
After recently suffering two consecutive defeats, though, Arsenal are in danger of missing out on qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League, with Tottenham Hotspur ahead of them as things stand.
In an attempt to avoid this from taking place in the 2022/23 season, the Spanish boss has outlined his desire to bring in seven players in the next window, according to The Sun.
With Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah's contracts set to expire at the end of this campaign, Arteta will be looking to add more options to his striking department, and it is claimed the EPL side has launched a £25 million (R479 million) bid for Juventus star Alvaro Morata, who is on loan in Italy from Atletico Madrid.

Bayer Leverkusen frontman Patrik Schick has also recently been linked with a move to the London club, although his price tag will reportedly be in the region of £58 million (R1.1 billion), which could put the Gunners off.
Galatasaray star Kerem Akturkoglu is also said to be admired by Arteta and company after impressing in Turkey with 21 goal contributions in 46 appearances this season. The 23-year-old winger is believed to also be a target for Antonio Conte's Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsenal's next Premier League match in their quest to secure that vital top-four spot is away at Southampton on Saturday.
