Mikel Arteta has a problem position at Arsenal.
The Gunners allowed Ainsley Maitland-Niles to move on loan to AS Roma earlier in the month, meaning Arteta now has four senior options to play in the centre of midfield.
Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Mohamed Elneny. The latter of the four, Elneny, looks set to leave the club at the end of the season with his contract due to expire, with his ability being questioned by many supporters as well.
