Arsene Wenger’s Summer wish-list

The Gunners ended their nine-year trophy drought at Wembley on Saturday after an extra-time victory over Hull.

But while Arsenal paraded their silverware through the streets of Islington yesterday, now attention turns to strengthening the squad.

And with Bacary Sagna and Lukasz Fabianski on their way out of the Emirates exit door, Wenger wants at least three new faces before the start of next season.

Wenger is set to sign his new contract this week and wants to kick on over the summer by landing new talent.

Express Sport understands a striker is a priority, with three names under consideration.

Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema is a long-term target, with a ÂŁ30million bid in the pipeline.

Bayern Munich hitman Mario Mandzukic is set to leave the German giants this summer and is wanted by Wenger, but Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is also keen.

Liverpool and Everton target Wilfried Bony could prove a cheaper option for Wenger though, should Swansea be pushed into a sale.

Benzema’s Real team-mate Angel Di Maria is a ÂŁ40m wing option, with the Argentine ace reportedly ready to quit the Bernabeu.

Wenger has lined up potential replacements for Sagna and Fabianski too, in Nancy goalkeeper Paul Nardi and Toulouse right-back Serge Aurier.
