Arsenal Transfer Radar – 3 Box-to-Box Midfielders Who Will Add Steel To Midfield (Including A Tottenham Star)

2. Paulinho

The Brazilian international isn’t enjoying his football in Spurs as a player of his calibre would like to. Having promised the fans at least Champions League football in the coming season after spending around 100 million after Bale’s transfer to Real Madrid, Tottenham have endured a very rough season and have finally secured the Europa League spot after a lot of struggling. Paulinho having recently been called up to the Brazil National Team’s final 23 for the World Cup, would feel that he could do much better than Tottenham. His defensive work rate is strong as he has always been the hardworking Brazilian, but his box to box runs have always given Corinthians and Brazil the cutting edge. He’s underutilized in Tottenham’s flair-less game-play, yet he has chipped in with 7 goals and 7 assists only marking his direct attacking ability. Chelsea are also interested in getting the midfielder who is rated at 16m Euros on transfermarkt.com.
