3. Sven Bender
Dortmund midfielder Sven Bender is often overlooked in the transfer market in favour of his brother but he is comparable to his sibling. With Bayer Leverkusen’s Bender ruling out a move this summer, Arsenal should shift their attention to his brother in Dortmund- who would be more open to a move.
Bender is constantly linked with moves to top clubs but his injury record is off-putting, though it wouldn’t be out of place in our squad considering our own record. We haven’t been put off by the injury records of players in the past so we shouldn’t be different this time around, as when fit Bender is a impeccable player.
The 25-year-old would be available on a fee of around about £15m, which is certainly affordable in our transfer budget and it wouldn’t mean that we would be sacrificing additions elsewhere in the squad.
