Dybala, Jesus, Hickey: How Arsenal could line up after £85m triple Edu swoop

Arsenal are set for yet another busy summer transfer window. The north London side currently sit fifth in the Premier League table with a game in hand over fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, who are two points adrift following their win over Burnley.

If Mikel Arteta's side are able to finish above Spurs they will secure a place in next season's UEFA Champions League - a competition they haven't qualified for in each of the last five years. In doing so, Arsenal would become a high roller in the transfer window, boosting their chances of securing a host of star-studded signings.

With Jesus and Dybala in the Arsenal side, Arteta can operate a new-look front-three which oozes dynamism, creativity and an eye for goal. Though, with the South American duo starting, Bukayo Saka may have to surrender his role on the right-wing for Dybala, who likes to drift inside onto his left foot.

Sadly, no Martinelli or Emile Smith Rowe, though the latter could feature in the midfield three as he has done before. Kieran Tierney has suffered a handful of minor injuries this season, but Hickey finds himself on the bench ready to fill in.

The pivot. This allows Saka to retain his role on the right and gives Dybala the licence to roam and bridge the transition from defence to attack. Martinelli is a strong candidate at Arsenal to feature on the left, but Smith Rowe takes charge in this instance.

Odegaard has every right to feature in the number ten role, and he could even feature in the double pivot against weaker opposition when Arsenal are going to have greater control of possession. Again, Hickey is on the bench ready to fill in - a wealth of strength in depth, nonetheless.

Probably the most outlandish of the three, but a formation which will lift fans from their seats when Arteta is looking for a goal. Smith Rowe and Dybala as close-knit number tens behind Jesus is an incredibly exciting prospect, and one that would take the Premier League by storm.

Odegaard in the double pivot, as aforementioned, could work, though it's a bit overly ambitious for Arteta's militant setup. This formation has the scope to also quickly shift into a back-four if needs be.

Again, unfortunately for Hickey, the Bologna left-back finds himself on the bench. However, it's unlikely that Arsenal will have the entirety of their attacking options available so he could easily slide in at left wing-back.
