Three midfielders Arsenal could target if they miss out on their primary choice

On the other hand, they have already confirmed two new signings in the form of Nuno Tavares from Benfica and Albert Sambi Lokonga from Anderlecht.
Mikel Arteta’s side are also believed to be closing in on a mega-money move for Ben White from Brighton and Hove Albion and the announcements looks more like a formality.
Despite the club having already signed a central midfielder in the form of Lokonga, the Gunners still remain in the market for another marquee signing in the middle of the park.
Their priority target seems to be Italy international Manuel Locatelli. In fact, the Gunners have reportedly matched the £34 million asking price for the Sassuolo midfielder but the 23-year-old is believed to be interested in only moving to Juventus.
And, that makes things interesting for Arsenal on whether they chose to pursue the European Championship winner with Italy or look for alternatives.
There is no shortage of alternatives for the Arsenal manager at the moment and here, we will take a look at three such options.
