Jesper Lindstrom
Lindstrom is another Bundesliga midfielder linked with Arsenal. He is the most attacking of the quartet mentioned in this piece.
Danilo
Palmeiras star Danilo emerged as an Arsenal target late in the summer window. Injuries to Partey and Mohamed Elneny saw the Gunners scour the market for options.
Mykhaylo Mudryk
Mudryk has made it clear he would be open to a move to the Premier League, and Arsenal in particular. He has impressed for Shakhtar Donetsk in their Champions League campaign to date.
Pedro Neto
Wolves star Neto was reported as Arsenal’s top winger target in the summer. However, the asking price was too high for the north London club.
