2. Sami Khedira
Attack wise, the depth in arsenal’s midfield is hard to match at most major European clubs. However, last year, defensively the midfield wasn’t good enough and left the defence far too exposed, particularly in key away games, such as Man.City, Liverpool and Chelsea. Arteta is quite old now, and his influence is definitely waining. The same can be said for Flamini also. Therefore a younger, fresher player is needed to screen in front of the back four. Khedira is rumoured to be on the transfer list at the Madrid giants and would be an excellent signing. Wenger may not feel he needs another defensive midfielder, but if he comes available i’d like to think that he’d be interested. Hopefully, the ever growing list of Germans at the club can help lure Khedira to add to the collection and in the process improve Arsenal’s defensive frailties from last season.
