Arsenal have made it clear the type of midfielder they are going to sign in the summer transfer window. It is because of this that Houssem Aouar would be the ideal signing for the Gunners ahead of next season.
The north London side has seemed to target players who have excellent ball carrying skills. With Thomas Partey anchoring the midfield and Martin Odegaard being tasked with leading the team in creating chances, having a midfielder who can successfully carry the ball from defence to midfield is crucial.
It seems Edu has identified players who excel in this department and those who have been linked to the club have some of the best ball-carrying statistics in Europe's top five leagues.
