9. Asier Illaramendi
Arsenal were very interested in Illaramendi before Real Madrid paid huge money to sign him. Now the Spanish side look set to offload Illara, and Arsenal could take advantage. He’d be a cheaper option, in the region of £15million, but he is more of an Arteta type player than he is Coquelin. A gifted young playmaker who many view as a good option to replace the ageing Arteta. He’s good, but we can do better. I prefer Real Madrid rejects in the form of Mesut Ozil thank you.
Likelihood rating: 6/10.
