The all-English and all-Brazilian front threes Arsenal could field to seal top four

The Gunners boss was backed heavily last summer with £150million in investment, and it looks like there will be a repeat this year with targets identified and movements made.

If the latest reports are to be believed the Spaniard could have six options for his three forward spots, and the ability to play an all-English trident, and an all-Brazilian.

Following on from their promise last season, Eddie Nketiah can again be flanked by Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe, with the Young Lions offering a tantalising glimpse into the future.

A possible Brazilian trio could bring even more thrills, though, with youngster Gabriel Martinelli increasingly likely to be joined by two regulars from his national side.

The Gunners are reportedly closing in on long-term target Gabriel Jesus, and if that news isn't exciting enough for the Emirates faithful, he could also be joined by Leeds' thrilling winger Raphinha.

Both signings now look like a distinct possibility for Arsenal, with The Athletic reporting an offer has been sent to Leeds, exceeding what cash-strapped Barcelona can provide.

A similar fee to the mooted £50m will be handed over to City for Jesus, who has long been linked to north London with his contract in Manchester expiring next summer.

The duo would go great lengths towards replacing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, whose departures this year have left a void up front.

That gap has already been filled to an extent with Nketiah, who recently signed a new deal with the club - and was handed the No.14 shirt - after an impressive run in the team towards the end of the season.

The all-time top scorer at England Under-21 level, Nketiah is a throwback for an Arsenal side that used to rely heavily on English talent, and that theme is coming back across the line-up.

Along with Saka and Smith Rowe, centre-back Ben White has become a mainstay at the back, as has Aaron Ramsdale in goal.

Much like the days of David Seaman, Tony Adams and Ray Parlour, the Gunners would be getting back to their roots with an English spine, and Arsenal fan and talkSPORT host Laura Woods is feeling optimistic.

Speaking about the transfer news, she said: "That would be exceptional, Raphinha, Jesus and [Leicester midfielder and another summer target for Arsenal] Youri Tielemans - if you get all three, amazing.

"I think Jesus is the number one target now, I would love all three of them, I'd love one of them, I think they desperately need a striker and all that talent as well and all the creative players around them.

"Tielemans is such an exceptional player, as an Arsenal fan I would love Tielemans to come to Arsenal, I think he's one of Leicester's best players so that would be a big blow for Leicester.

"Jesus, I think he's looking for first-team football so it would be great if he came to us. I've seen people suggesting maybe he wouldn't be able to cope with playing week-in week-out, but he'd be absolutely fine.

"Raphinha as well has just been so solid for Leeds when he's fit and ready, so if they could get those three signings over the line they would be doing so well.

"They were top spenders last summer in the Premier League, I think they're heading that way this summer as well.

"I think if they actually sign those players a lot of the fanbase would be back onside with Arsenal after what was a pretty dreadful window in the winter, getting loads of people out but not necessarily getting anybody in, so I think that would win a lot of the fanbase over.

"If you get those three players in plus what you already have, you've got to be considered as potentially pushing for top four as well."
