Arsenal have ambitions not only to qualify for the Champions League but to take their side back to the top. Mikel Arteta sits top of the Premier League thanks to the Gunners picking up five wins out of six.
However, the likelihood is that Arsenal will be fighting with the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United for the fourth spot come the end of the season. To give themselves the best possible chance, I suggested that Arteta must find his version of a Fabinho and Rodri so that like both Liverpool and Manchester City, the club has that world-class midfield to anchor their side’s middle third.
Finding who that player could be though is the challenge. Here for football.london I suggest a number of options who could become an equivalent star for the club, although the challenge to secure such a player is no easy feat.
