Arsenal manager Unai Emery has compiled a list of five names he wants to bring to the Emirates this summer window, according to the Daily Mail.
The Spaniard took over the reins at Arsenal following Arsene Wenger's departure after 22 years in charge and now he has formed a list of the players he wants to bring in.
Emery is set to begin a brand-new era with the north London side and he hopes to hit the ground running, naming these five players as targets on his wish list.
Among the names is Barcelona star Ousmane Dembele, who could well be shipped on loan to the Gunners as he looks to regain form ahead of his contract at the Nou Camp.
Jonny Evans was surprisingly linked to Manchester City last season. There must be something about his reliability that's formed an attraction from large clubs, as Emery wants the former Manchester United defender at Arsenal.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos, as well as having a tongue-tangling name, is a very good defender for Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund. A transfer would make sense. The one area that needs addressing is Arsenal's backline. Sokratis fits the bill.
Jean Michel Seri was on a number of Premier League club's radars last summer window. Arsenal will again face heavily competition for the 26-year-old's signature, but the pull of the club might just seal the deal.

Peter Cech might have hadthe number spot for several seasons, but cracks have started to show, and Bernd Leno has been identified as a target.
There are your five. He can bring in all the players he likes, the Emery transition will take time. Wenger has left a legacy, but he's also left with a lot of questions unanswered. Only a good manager, like one who has won three consecutive Europa Leagues, can help ease the transition. Good luck, Emery.
