How could Arsenal line up next season if they sign Thomas Lemar?

Arsenal have reportedly made a second bid for Monaco winger Thomas Lemar and are closing in on a deal for the 21-year-old.

The Sun report that terms have been agreed between and the player, but a fee is yet to be decided for the France international.

While Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez is also on Arsene Wenger's radar, the Gunners have already had a bid of £31million rejected for Lemar and are likely to continue the chase.

With Alexandre Lacazette already putting pen to paper at the Emirates and Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil still Gunners players, space is at a premium in the Arsenal attack so how could they all be utilised next season?
