Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli split the burden of that position last season, but neither quite hit the level desired by Arteta. Trossard has since left the club to join Besiktas, while Martinelli remains in situ. Tzolis can play across the front three, and it remains unclear where he will be utilised this season.Vinicius is a prolific goalscorer and consistent creator. He hit five goals and assisted another in five World Cup matches this summer, and notched 21 goal contributions in 36 La Liga appearances last season.His wages may prove problematic if he joined Arsenal, though, with reports suggesting he is currently paid £400,000 per week.
