Yeah, should be possible. If we sell the right players, have no idea what will happen with Özil if we sign someone like Ziyech, I can't see him leaving but I'd expect he could become second choice if we sign another no 10. I guess he'd still probably get a lot of game time as we'd have 5 main attackers Laca, Aubameyang, Özil, Ziyech and Chukwueze to rotate for four spots in a 4231 with Nelson, Nketiah and Iwobi as further back up. I like Mkhi but he blows hot & cold (like a lot of our players) but think he'll be sold along with Elneny, Mustafi, Chambers, Ospina and one of Kola/Monreal with Welbeck, Ramsey, Cech, Jenkinson and Lich all going as well.That list isn't even un reasonable imo. From what I've heard about Konate he is going to be absolute immense in the future and very decent now, he's 6'4 and pretty quick.
With the way Kos is playing now, it would maybe makes sense to not bring in a £60+ million CB and use Sok, Kos and Holding while Konate gets used to PL.
We definitely need a LB as well and I'd trust AMN, Bellerin and Osei-Tutu to cover RB.
I'd be very happy with just 3 players in, Konate, Chukwueze and Tierney.
Lacazette
Aubameyang - Ziyech - Chukwueze
Xhaka - Torreira
Tierney - Konate - Sokratis - Bellerin
Leno
Nketiah
Iwobi - Özil - Nelson
Guendouzi - Willock
Kola/Monreal - Kosc - Holding - AMN

That squad immediately looks miles better with just four signings imo, if we don't want Willock as a deeper midfielder maybe look to sign a cheaper player like Bennacer but I think Willock has qualities we're missing in midfield currently.Aubameyang - Ziyech - Chukwueze
Xhaka - Torreira
Tierney - Konate - Sokratis - Bellerin
Leno
Nketiah
Iwobi - Özil - Nelson
Guendouzi - Willock
Kola/Monreal - Kosc - Holding - AMN
