7. Gabriel Batistuta – Roma (2000-01) :

It was in 1982-23 that Roma had won the Serie A for the second time but since then it was a dry spell for the Italian giants. Fabio Capello arrived at Roma after his sacking at Real Madrid in 1999. He was desperate to prove himself and he knew what he wanted. Against the will of the Roma President, he wanted the 30 year old Argentine striker Gabriel Batistuta. Paying £23.5 m for a striker past his prime looked silly but it did pay off brilliantly. Gabriel’s arrival at Roma changed the morale at the club and his link up with the talented Francesco Totti and the amazing poacher Vincenzo Montella created chaos in the opposition defense. He scored 20 goals in his debut season at Roma and helped them win the Serie A title for the third time in their history. Since then, Roma have never been able to win the Serie A title again.

Luis Enrique is favourite for the Arsenal job right now but it seems he has some radical plans.

Luis Enrique, former Barcelona boss want to rip through the current Arsenal squad and he needs total of £200million to totally restructure the team.

The goalkeeping, defence and midfield will be in for a major shake up with Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan already identified as a leading target to come in.

Only the strikers will be safe from this with their £60million record-signing Aubameyang and Lacazette being safe.

5. Thomas Tuchel

In 2015, Thomas Tuchel replaced Jurgen Klopp at BVB. After taking charge at Borussia Dortmund the 44-year-old German took them to second place in 2015/16 and third in the following year.

Despite winning the DFBo-Pokal in May last year, he was sacked by BVB just after three days.

Tuchel’s stylish football and history of nurturing players would certainly suit Arsenal. He has also been linked with PSG job but Arsenal job may be suited for him as a long-term project.
