Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Tottenham Hotspur attacker, Darren Bent has handed Arsenal names of three players to sign this summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

Arsenal will end this season trophyless after they were recently knocked out from the UEFA Champions League.<\/p>\n

However, Bent wants the Premier League North London club to sign the likes of Athletic Bilbao\u2019s Nico Williams, Sporting CP\u2019s Viktor Gyokeres and Real Sociedad\u2019s Martin Zubimendi this summer to bolster their squad for next season.<\/p>\n

He believes that Mikel Arteta\u2019s side can win the Premier League title next season if the aforementioned players.<\/p>\n

Speaking on talkSPORT, Bent picked the best possible starting XI for the Gunners next season and made just three changes to the main starting XI from this season.<\/p>\n

Bent said: \u201cDavid Raya in goal. Then I\u2019ve gone Ben White, Saliba, Gabriel, Myles Lewis-Skelly [in the defense].<\/p>\n

\u201cMidfield three, Zubimendi or Partey holding, Odegaard and Rice, they are fine, Odegaard has got to have a big season next season, because this season he is been poor.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the left, Nico Williams, I like him. Part of a very successful Spain team. 100 per cent better than Martinelli.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrossard needs to go, so you still need two, so I would go Nico Williams on the left. Down the middle, Viktor Gyokeres.\u201d<\/p>\n
