Can Arsenal fight for the title next season?

Arsenal is the type of team that at the start of the season we see them as title contenders but seem to always have a slow start or during mid season they start giving up points and that hurts their title chances at the end. The question is can Arsenal win the title next season with this squad? I believe they can't even though they got talented players like Özil, Alexis, Welbeck, Ramsey, Wilshere and company they are missing a Goalkeeper, maybe a defensive midfielder, and definitely a world class striker.

In the Goalkeeper position the Colombian David Ospina has been ok but not great. But if they get Peter Chech, or an Hugo Lloris, maybe the Mexican sensation during the last World Cup Guillermo Ochoa then Arsenal will definitely have a strong keeper to defend the Arsenal Goal. The defense will feel secure with a talented Goalkeeper especially the likes of Chech and Lloris but those two would be hard to get since they both play in their own competition maybe Chech with the right offer.

They are also a midfielder away we can say they are stacked in the midfield but you got to realize that some of their talented midfielders are injury prone and a talented backup wont hurt. Especially if Arsenal want to challenge Chelsea for the title next season. Their is a rumor that Arsenal is willing to pay the 37 million euros clause of the German international Julian Drexler he would be an excellent no.10 in the gunner's starting XI. He is not only young but he is talented and a World Cup Champion. They could also look ate Hector Herrera the talented Mexican midfielder currently playing at FC Porto and playing great football showing his skills controlling the ball as well as shooting it from the outside. He has great defensive and attacking skills. With these two midfielders they can totally challenge Chelsea or Man. City for the title next season.

But they will still need a world class striker like Benzema or Higuain. Ironically both player born in France. Benzema would be a hard steel from Real Madrid as he recently sign a fiver year extension with Madrid and his price won't be cheap. If Ancelotti is still there next season he won't let him go as he has expressed in many occasion that he is untouchable from his squad. Gonzalo Higuain the Argentina international would be an easier sign as his club Napoli might not play Champions League next season and the could persuade him to endure a move to the Emirates. But his price tag wont be cheap but Arsene has showed especially last season acquiring Alexis from Barca that he is willing to spend for the right players. The center back position is pretty much solved as Hector Moreno from Espanyol is set to move to Arsenal next season for a purchase of 14 million euros and Espanyol can't complain as they need the extra cash to survive economically.

If Arsenal makes these types of moves or acquires top world class players at least three they can fight for the Barclay's Premier League Title in 2015/2016 season. This summer will a busy one for the Arsene Wenger and his staff. We will soon find out if he is willing to spend to upgrade his squad and fight for the title that the teams and fans deserve.
