Arsenal profited from Lyon last time out as they have felt the fruitful rewards of signing Alexandre Lacazette. However, they may need to turn to the French side for help yet again should they require a replacement for Aubameyang.

Moussa Dembele seems to be an option for most European sides this summer so he would be a little less realistic, but still a good option for the Gunners to have. The former Celtic man ages at 23 years old and he is one of the top emerging talents in Europe.

He is a forward that prides himself on his ability to involve his fellow attackers in the game, a trait which Arsenal would surely miss if they lost Aubameyang. Dembele is also very agile and he shows great aplomb in front of goal, something to consider since this is a trait which seems to be missing in Lacazette.

Dembele is a top transfer target for Chelsea and Frank Lampard. That said, Arsenal would need to pay over the odds if they were to sign the Frenchman since it looks more likely the Blues will qualify for the Champions League.
