We’ve looked good with Holding, Sokratis and to an extent Koscielny. Koulibaly could be a van Dijk level signing for us.
Obviously Koulibaly should be the number 1 target. But I say realistic because he'll go for so so much.

Aubameyang came to Arsenal mostly because of his wage demand and at the time, we didn't have any competitor to sign him. The only one was AC Milan who refused to pay him the wage he was asking for. Provided that we can only offer "handsome salaries" and we follow the self-sustain policy, I don't see a real possibility for buying a big name with huge wage this summer unless Özil leaves ...
Would rather it was Upamecano we were interested in, but he's clearly out our price range, so it is what it is.
Interestingly, on the CIES transfer value tracker Konate has been trending up and Upamecano down. At the moment there's not much difference in their market value based on their scientific methodology. Less than €5 million.
Do they release anything like how their oredictive values correlate with actual real world fees?
How good actually are their valuations?
Big names arn't cheap, Koulibaly would be our entire budget.I mean we’re still a huge club, brought in big stars like Aubameyang even without CL. Lot of big name CB’s gonna be on the market this summer as well.
Never seen him play but I’ve always rated him. Hope we get him in.
I watched a Leipzig game recently and he was absurdly dominant. He'd be interesting. Might have actually been the Bayern game.
