Arsenal are set for a busy summer of speculation with the Gunners eyeing a host of reinforcements after an ultimately disappointing 2018/19 campaign. A fifth-place finish in the Premier League and a humiliating defeat in the Europa League final has highlighted the need for fresh faces in the squad, and there are no shortage of candidates. Despite manager Emery being constrained by a reported £40million budget, several defensive additions have been touted including Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney. The 22-year-old is seen as a potential replacement for Nacho Monreal and also has the versatility to play at right-back with Hector Bellerin expected to miss the start of the season as he recovers from knee surgery.
