According to Tribal Football [via the Telegraph] Wenger has presented Gazidis with a wishlist of five players that he wants Arsenal to sign this summer in order to really compete in the league next season.
Said list apparently consists of Kylian Mbappe, Alexandre Lacazette, and Thomas Lemar, who most will already be aware of, as well as RB Leipzig’s Emil Forsberg and Nice midfielder Jean Seri.

The midfielder was key for Monaco last season and is now worth 10 times what the Ligue 1 side originally paid Caen for him back in 2015 (£3.4m).
Wenger’s allegedly a huge fan of the 21-year-old France international, who scored 14 and assisted 17 in 55 appearances for Monaco last season.
