Arsenal’s Unstoppable £740m-rated Starting XI for Next Season: If Transfer Rumours Become Reality
As Arsenal prepares to kick off the Premier League season against Wolves later this month, the summer transfer window has been relatively quiet for the club.
Despite this, there’s an undercurrent of optimism as the Gunners narrowly missed clinching the title last season, finishing just two points behind Manchester City.
Manager Mikel Arteta might feel that his squad has the potential to go all the way in the upcoming season.
With a significant defensive addition and ongoing speculation about a major forward signing, here’s a look at the potential starting XI for Arsenal next season if the transfer rumours prove true.
Goalkeeper: David Raya, £30 million
David Raya, who joined Arsenal permanently from Brentford for £27 million, has established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper.
He impressed last season, taking over from Aaron Ramsdale and delivering strong performances.
Left Back: Riccardo Calafiori, £38 million
Riccardo Calafiori recently signed from Serie A’s Bologna for £40 million. Known for his quality and experience, Calafiori has been praised by Arsenal’s technical director, Edu, and is expected to strengthen the left-back position.
Centre Back: William Saliba, £69 million
William Salina was a standout performer at the heart of Arsenal’s defense last season.
He played every minute of the Premier League campaign, earning a reputation as one of the most reliable defenders in the top flight.
Centre Back: Gabriel Magalhães, £50 million

One of the biggest rumored signings is Declan Rice from West Ham United for a hefty £80 million.
Rice’s addition would significantly bolster Arsenal’s midfield with his defensive skills and leadership qualities.

Club captain Martin Ødegaard, valued at £50 million, is expected to continue his influential role in the midfield.
His creativity and vision are pivotal for Arsenal’s attacking play.

His ability to control the game and contribute both offensively and defensively would be invaluable.
