Isco
The Real Madrid attacking midfielder hasn’t really broken into the team and could well be looking for a move away from the Bernabeu. Isco might be the kind of player who can take up the Wilshere role and provide a lot of creativity as well down the middle.
With Ozil already in the team and doing well, another Madrid player could well star for Arsenal. The 23-year-old would be an expensive signing but certainly one for the future as well and he also has a great injury-free record which would certainly be an attractive proposition for Arsene, plus he can play in a range of positions as well, certainly something that Wenger likes.
Victor Wanyama
Coming a little closer to home, Southampton have had one of the best midfielders in the Premier League in the form of the Kenyan Victor Wanyama. The 24-year-old has been one of the breakout stars under Ronald Koeman after his move from Celtic.
There were a lot of rumours linking Wanyama away from St. Mary’s prior to this season but Ronald Koeman put his foot down to ensure the defensive midfielder stays at the club. Wanyama might not have the passing range that Wilshere posses but he can hold the ball really well and control the midfield which would make him a great option to have irrespective of him playing in the Wilshere role, giving Arsenal another dynamic midfielder to deploy.
