Arsenal made waves over the summer as Bernd Leno, Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi rocked up at the Emirates
Transfer chiefs Sven Mislintat and Raul Sanllehi are hard at work lining up more targets as they continue to reshape the squad Emery inherited from Arsene Wenger
Left-back has proved a problem area for Arsenal under Emery, with Nacho Monreal, Sead Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles all slotting in there this season
**PREDICT FIVE RESULTS AND WIN £25,000 - FREE TO PLAY HERE** And it is said Tagliafico has been lined up as a potential long-term solution for the position following his impressive performances for Ajax and Argentina
The Gunners are reported to be tracking the 26-year-old on Emery's behalf, with Atletico Madrid, Napoli and Roma credited with interest in him too
However, it seems Arsenal will have to fight off a familiar foe if they are to add Tagliafico to their ranks ahead of the 2019/20 campaign
According to Transfer Market Web, Newcastle have joined their Premier League rivals in identifying Tagliafico as an option for next summer
The former Banfield, Murcia and Independiente defender, who is under contract until 2020, might leave Ajax at the end of the season
And the Dutch giants will be powerless to prevent him waving goodbye if the release clause in his deal is triggered
That values Tagliafico at £18m (€20m), significantly less than other stars of his calibre and experience
Newcastle's ability to challenge for Tagliafico, though, will be dictated by the division they will be playing in next term
Rafa Benitez's Magpies are currently four points clear of the drop zone but they still have 18 games to go
Meanwhile, one man who will definitely not be plying his trade for Arsenal beyond May is Aaron Ramsey
The midfielder will not be offered a new contract and a cluster of top clubs are vying for his signature
Former Juventus playmaker Andrea Pirlo is certain Ramsey will snub rival offers to head to the Allianz Stadium
"Ramsey is a great purchase," Pirlo said. "Juventus are preparing another excellent deal
He is a strong player and could do very well."
