Kylian Mbappe is certain to leave PSG at the end of this season, following the expiry of his contract.
Arsenal potentially stand the chance to sign the French World Cup winner for free, with Real Madrid reportedly out of the race.
If Edu can pull off the blockbuster transfer of the summer, here are three ways the Gunners could include Mbappe in their starting XI.
2-striker formation
The first option sees a midfield diamond deployed with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli positioned a little deeper than usual. Up top, there is Mbappe alongside Leandro Trossard, who has a creative flair.
Add Martin Odegaard to that mix and this could be a lethal combination that guarantees goals from several players for Arsenal.
Sole striker
This option is quite simple - Mbappe replaces Gabriel Jesus as the striker up top, with Martinelli and Saka on the wings.
The midfield and the defence remain the same; this could be a great way for Mikel Arteta to play when an injury befalls Jesus.
As a winger
Mbappe is also adept at playing on the left wing, meaning he could be deployed there. However, doing so would make life very difficult for Martinelli as he may spend most of his time on the bench.
The combination of Mbappe and Saka working together down the wings sounds very tantalising. Also, Oleksandr Zinchenko's creativity down the left side could land goals on a silver platter for Mbappe.
