Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has told the club the one player he would sign if he had the power to do so.
The Gunners invested £15million in Albert Sambi Lokonga last summer who has had an up and down start to life at the Emirates Stadium. Still adapting to the Premier League, Mikel Arteta has had to lean on the experienced duo of Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey for most of the season in the middle of the park.
With Partey out for the rest of the season after picking up an injury in the 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at the start of the month, Lokonga was brought in to fill the Ghanaian's boots but was unable to prevent the Gunners from losing 2-1 to Brighton and Hove Albion and 1-0 to Southampton.
