Gyokeres role, Nwaneri stars, Ben White dropped – Predicted new Arsenal line up in 2025 – as Arteta set to complete Victor Gyokeres deal by January

For teams like Arsenal, the international break is a chance to look forward as well as to reflect. Not only do we eagerly anticipate the arrival of the upcoming week and the return of domestic football to our TVs, but we also speculate about the future.

With the anticipated improvements to the market, the team, and the young academy, the potential appearance of Arsenal for the upcoming season has peaked. According to football.london, the club is really excited about 2025 as a target year.

Not only for the potential conclusion of the present season, but also for the business being looked toward to build up the next stage of this controversial project led by Mikel Arteta. In light of this, we examine what the Arsenal team might look like at the beginning of the following season and identify which old and new players will still be on the squad.

The back line is steady, as has been the case with Arteta’s project’s youth investment, and David Raya will undoubtedly win additional accolades during his first full season as a regular player. The most intriguing spot on the team, though, might be at right-back, where an intense matchup between Ben White and Jurrien Timber has already started to take shape.

As of right now, Timber has undoubtedly had the better season start, which extrapolates to give him the advantage in any lineup for the upcoming campaign. Of course, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes will continue to uphold their legendary status as the best center-half duo in the league—possibly even the best in Europe by then.

Riccardo Calafiori will be a far more polished version of himself at left-back. However, with Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kieran Tierney, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Jakub Kiwior possibly leaving the team by now, his backup option will be much worse in depth.

Instead, Myles Lewis-Skelly, a bright young talent, will fill the position and contribute to the midfield’s depth. While there might soon be another fascinating celebrity to discuss, Lewis-Skelly is unquestionably someone to keep an eye on.

Declan Rice will be a fully-fledged number six by the time he returns to midfield following Mikel Merino’s promotion into the starting lineup. By then, the contracts of Jorginho and Thomas Partey will also have ended, making Merino’s path easier.

He may still have to deal with the prospect of starting every game with Ethan Nwaneri as Martin Odegaard’s midfield partner. The 18-year-old, who debuted in the Premier League over three years prior, will play a more significant role in Mikel Arteta’s plans and be an attacking midfield option that intimidates other teams.

The real action is on the forward line, where Kai Havertz might finally find his equal in the striker position. Havertz will still provide excellent quality, competition, and rotation to a number of roles, but supporters have been clamoring for a multi-million dollar striker deal, and Viktor Gyokeres appears to be a strong contender to win that position.

Naturally, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka will still remain by his sides. However, there might be more quality there as well, given that Nico Williams is back with the team and might be an attacking option.
