Olise would be really good competition for Saka but I suspect he will sign for Chelsea if he’s let go. I don’t see us paying whatever silly money Palace want.

Yup, he's just signed with RB....just seen it on twitter.
A real bummer as he's the only player we've been linked to this summer that actually excites me. Him and of course Yousouf Fofana (aka the second coming of Yaya Toure). I really hope his rumors don't end up being a pipe dream also.
So, it is that time of the year where Arsenal are linked with at least 120 players and most are a done deal.
However, which positions are really needed, if any?
We showed last year that an "out and out striker" may not be needed because the goals were shared around the team.
I believe that we should make it a priority and shift the last of the dead wood (Nketiah, ESR, Jesus, Zin and Vieria) and stick with the team we have. Maybe promote one or two of the youngsters. Obi-Martin is one to keep an eye on.
He won't ditch both ESR and Vieira, my bet is they keep Vieira, I still believe we can get more out of him if Arteta will give him more minutes, either in place of Saka or more centrally
There's not a single player anywhere worth buying. We already have a decent squad and don't need anything else. If there was a single decent striker in Europe, Mbappe excluded, that would be worth a punt. But there isn't. It;s a seas of shit-kickers who are utterly talentless compared to what we already have.

Viktor Gyökeres ???
Ex Coventry
One good season playing in the Portuguese League with Sporting Lisbon.
It seems a lot money for this type of player.
Why are we going after Califiori, out of all the positions we need to strengthen it’s not in defence
If we sell Zinchenko? Great…maybe bring in a youngster who can provide cover for Timber whilst continuing to also use Tomi and Kiwior there….we’ve clearly got enough options.
Yes we scored a lot of goals last season but relying on Trossard and Havertz to get you goals consistently is at best a gamble
We also need midfield cover
I hope that he’s lured by Chelsea silly money and goes there
The only reason I can think of is Saliba and Gabriel cannot play every game like they were asked to last season, apart from the one CC match.
I never like Italians over here, they very rarely settle and like it here, but he will have Jorginho if he does arrive.
We need to strengthen the squad, without doubt we can't assume Gabriel and Saliba will be fit all season, we need to be more competitive in cups too plus the CL has more fixtures, so we need more strength in depth
And we simply must sell Zin so Arteta doesn't have the option of playing him ever again
