Ivory Coast fullback Serge Aurier and Milan striker Mario Balotelli are apparently on our wish list this summer. Aurier plays for Toulouse and has reportedly told the French side he will not return or go to Marseilles and has made it known that Arsenal are his destination of choice. The 21-year old is only making about $500k in France and would get a massive bump in pay to move to London. Aurier would be a direct replacement for Bacary Sagna who left to join Manchester City after being denied the multi-year extension he was seeking from the Gunners. Aurier's price tag is thought to be less than £10m making him an absolute steal. Likewise, Balotelli doesn't seem long for Milan, with the 23-year old enjoying life in Italy but feeling unwanted by his club. Arsenal reportedly made a £25m bid for the forward but have been told it will take £29.5m to get him. There is some question as to whether Wenger would be willing to break the bank in terms of wages to get the Italian star--Balotelli is asking for £180,000-per-week, £40,000 more than top earner Mesut Ozil who signed last summer. If these two signings were to somehow come to fruition Arsenal would still need to pick up a goalkeeper and decide on the future of Thomas Vermaelen before the summer could be deemed a success.
