Arsenal starting XI for 2018/19 Premier League opener: Will Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang go on keeping the rythm?

Arsenal newly appointed head coach Unai Emery and head of recruitment Sven Mislintat have announced the scheme of their plans to build a new squad ahead of Premier League new season in press conference. The new Premier League season gets underway on August 11 which means that Emery and Mislintat have over six weeks to land their priority targets and build a strong squad. According to football.london Arsenal new starting XI will be as follows, using Emery’s preferred 4-2-3-1 formation: Bernd Leno Arsenal have to replace Petr Cech this summer as he has made more errors which led to goals in 2017/18 than any other goalkeeper in the Premier League. The new keeper will most likely become Bayer Leverkusen’s Bernd Leno. Hector Bellerin Bellerin will start the season as first choice right-back though Arsenal are looking to bring in experienced Switzerland international Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free transfer. Sakratis The Greece international’s transfer is very close. The 29-year-old will bring some experience to the defence as he moves from Borussia Dortmund. Caglar Soyuncu Soyuncu is another priority transfer target this summer. Milsintat is a big fan of the Turkey international and his transfer is more than  possible. Nacho Monreal The Spaniard will most likely be first choice again next term as he had a fine season last time. Granit Xhaka Arsenal are on the look out for a new midfielder but Xhaka will certainly benefit under Unai Emery. As a part of first choice starting XI. Jean Seri Arsenal will most likely sell Aaron Ramsey if he doesn’t agree a new deal and look at several options as a replacement , with Nice star Seri right at the top of the list. Mesut Ozil This is going to be a great season for Ozil as watching him performing under Emery is going to be one of the most interesting aspects of the new campaign. So Ozil will definitely make the starting XI. Ousmane Dembele Arsenal will push to get Dembele on loan if Barcelona get Antoine Griezmann in. There’s an option that Ramsey could end up in Barcelona , with Arsenal managing to include Dembele in a swap deal. Henrikh Mkhitaryan The Armenia international is going to be a big player for Arsenal this season, taking into consideration his outstanding performances from January. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Aubameyang should score plenty next season, given what we saw towards the end of the 2017/18 campaign, however, partnership with Alexandre Lacazette can’t be a regular thing under Unai Emnery.
