Renato Sanches has once again highlighted why he would be an excellent midfield signing for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta’s 4-3-3 system. His injury concerns are the doubts about pursuing a deal, but for the £16million price he is quoted at, it may be worth taking the risk.
Sanches has proven to provide some of the most progressive passes and carries per 90 minutes in Europe’s top five leagues this season. The Portuguese international has been a stand-out performer since joining French side Lille who won the Ligue 1 title last season and progressed to the knockout stages of the Champions League during this campaign.
The dominant midfielder isn't known for his capabilities when his team is out of possession. But Arteta’s new system means that Sanches would certainly not be a defensive liability.
