Jordan Pickford, Davy Klaasen......and more to follow.
As usual, Wenger is not minded to do his business early. Groundhog Day is on an annual cycle.

I couldn't agree more apart from finishing 14 points above them.
Lacazette is clearly the French Darren Bent. I want Mbappe even if it means we don't buy another player for two years.
I have a good feeling that we'll get him as well. Why would he go to Madrid and be a bit part player? He can play for the club he supported as a boy, for a manager known for developing young talent. He can be the next TH14.
And we can give Giroud and Theo to Monaco as part of the deals for Mbappe and Lemar :cloud9:
But so would Giroud if he started all the time. I'd rather play Welbeck up top all of the time. Wenger clearly wants someone that is more than just a finisher - see Kylian Mbappe. I also like James at Madrid. Or if City want Alexis then we'll take Aguero.
If we don't get him I am going to be throwing my toys out of the pram.
Lacazette has less than 1 in 2 throughout his Lyon career. He has 1 in 11 caps for France. In fact, Giroud has kept Lacazette out of the national team for a long time.
His YouTube clips are underwhelming, in the same way that Chamakh's were.
Don't think he'll improve us at all.
Indeed, perhaps his best chance to sign him when he was relatively unknown and he may have looked at Arsenal as a 100% upgrade.
Now he is possibly the hottest football property in Europe and would be welcomed by most clubs including all the bigger clubs than us, those who can play CL football next season while also perhaps offering more money to both him personally and also to his club, if that were an issue.
I do get the argument about his coming to us in terms of continued development, perhaps a stepping stone to one of the aforementioned larger clubs, but then one could argue to remain at a very good Monaco would represent as good a platform.
Monaco are also not going to sell all their players, that would be a madness. They have lost the wonderful Silva and are likely to lose the marvellous Bakayoko and Mendy among others.
