Arsenal have drawn up a six-man transfer wish list as they look to close the gap on Manchester City — with Declan Rice, Wilfried Zaha and Moussa Diaby among their targets.

A report in the Daily Mail indicates Mikel Arteta wants to add a new centre-back, two central midfielders and one versatile attacker.

Those positions are the Spaniard's top summer priorities, with Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi also of interest.

Brighton's Moises Caicedo remains a target after missing out on the Ecuadorian in January, while Southampton youngster Romeo Lavia has also caught the eye.

The North Londoners are looking likely to narrowly miss out on the Premier League title to City despite leading the way for much of the campaign.

West Ham captain Rice, 24, would undoubtedly boost their squad and is said to be open to the switch across the capital due to his desire to play Champions League football.

French winger Diaby continues to impress for Bayer Leverkusen, with the 23-year-old scoring 14 goals and providing eight assists in all competitions.

An alternative in the wide areas is Crystal Palace star Zaha, who looks set to depart Selhurst Park this summer and is also believed to be on Chelsea's radar.
