The idea of signing both Moises Caicedo and Declan Rice seems like a dream come true for Arsenal. The pair are probably the most exciting deep central midfielders outside of the top four. However, the double deal, which appears at least on the surface to be rather fanciful, arguably creates something of a problem for the Gunners which at first glance isn’t obvious.
Arsenal need to make sure that the address the biggest issue regarding the league table that ultimately cost them at the business end of the title race. 42 goals conceded with one game left is simply far too many.
Mikel Arteta lost crucial defensive options from his side and as a result, the options they filled in were not up to the level required for a team chasing a title, or in the case of Kieran Tierney did not suit the system that the Spaniard had implemented. Both Rice and Caicedo would help significantly with this, but are we overlooking an issue it creates?
