Five Premier League players Arsenal should sign in the summer

Although the transfer window does not open until the summer, Arsene Wenger will know that there is a huge array of talent available right in front of him in the Premier League. Stars both homegrown and from other countries could prove to be huge signings for the club this year, making Arsenal confident title-challengers once more.

Many of the signings being discussed in recent times have been both made up and completely unrealistic, and so the signings who are actually needed have not been spoken of. Rivals in and around the Premier League have players who are wasting away and looking for consistent, first-team football which gives Arsenal a chance to sign some solid and experienced stars.

The summer window will also give the club a chance to have a longer and more developed look at some rising stars on the football scene, so here are five players Arsenal could sign from their Premier League rivals.
