2 – Sami Khedira

Although he is far from the defensive-minded midfielder many fans claim he is, Sami Khedira would add the strength and quality that has been missing from Arsenal’s midfield in recent years.
Khedira isn’t the type of player that just sits deep for entire games. He’s smart. He knows how to play the role of a box-to-box player in a modern midfield trio. The 6’2” powerhouse would help Arsenal retain possession in tough-fought games in a similar fashion to Yaya Touré at Manchester City – albeit without the birthday boy demands.
The only problem with Khedira is his wages. Many journalists have stated Sami has some outrageous demands when it comes to salary, and considering the 27-year-old’s injury record – he can’t afford to be too picky. If Arsenal can come to some kind of sensible agreement with the player, then this is a transfer I’d very much like to see completed. If not, then there are plenty of other players out there that could fill his role.
