After being confirmed as the new Arsenal boss, Unai Emery will now start the work on rebuilding the squad. The Mirror has reported that Emery will look to his former club, Paris Saint Germain for reinforcements.

It is believed that the Spaniard is set to raid PSG for as many as three players. Firstly, Arsenal's long-term target Julian Draxler may finally make his long impending move to the Emirates. The other two targets include Adrian Rabiot and Kevin Trapp.

Trapp is being seen as a replacement for Petr Cech. With Trapp being second choice at Paris, the German custodian might be willing to shift loyalties. Meanwhile, Rabiot is angered over his playing time at the club and may look for a new challenge.
