The international break is both a time to reflect for clubs like Arsenal but also to look forward. Not only in yearning for the next week to speed around the corner and return domestic football to our screens but theorise about the longer term.
What Arsenal might look like next season with the changes expected in the market, in the squad and from the youth academy has reached a peak.
Not only for what the current season might culminate in but the business that is being looked toward to set up the next phase of this infamous project spearheaded by Mikel Arteta. With that in mind, we take a look at what the Arsenal team might look like come the start of the next season and which familiar and new faces are still part of the team.
As has been the case with the youth investment of Arteta’s project, the back line remains consistent and David Raya’s first full season as a permanent player is sure to land him yet more plaudits. The interesting position in the side however could be at right-back with an all-out battle between Ben White and Jurrien Timber having already begun to materialise.
