Caglar Soyuncu, Tomas Soucek and Allan Saint-Maximin.
I would like to have added a left back to replace Reguilon, since he can only occasionally cross, yet doesn't nothing else well, but I think there are three needs that are greater at the moment.
We do need a CB badly, as Romero is unproven, and Sanchez is worthless. Dier is ok (for a rotation option), and Rodon is talented, but requires seasoning to be in the regular starting lineup. Tanganga needs to be starting at RB (Royal isn't ready, and I don't think he'll ever be good enough to be more than a rotation option). Soyuncu is solid, and I see him only getting better, as long as he has a good partner.
I also would have loved to have picked a CM that can unlock defenses (in the Eriksen mould, or maybe what Alli should do), but again, I don't see one available, apart from those that are more forward than they are CM (Barnes). Since I can't find that, I looked for one that can score, but also plays good defense. For me, Soucek was the signing of the season in 19-20, and he was even better last season. He'd also be a good captain, if Lloris and Kane are moved on.
For an attacking option, I'd take Saint-Maximin over Traore every day of the week. Traore can't score, and he's not much of a passer...he's all power and speed, but has no end product. You could have said the same of ASM a year ago, but he's improved mightily, and he'll only be getting better.

Absolutely no regard for Nuno as any players would last significantly longer than he will.
Traore - because I want a player who is able to pin opposition in their half rather than having to sit in ours.
Watkins - because I want a younger striker who is able to put the ball away when presented with a chance.
Ndidi because I want some one able to boss the middle and I can't have Kante
Hopefully the combination of these three will reduce the pressure on the defence a bit until I can pick 3 more players who don't play for certain clubs.
