Scouting For Wenger: Three Players To Boost Arsenal’s Title Aspiration

Share

With the January Transfer window lurking in just a month and a half’s time, Arsenal currently find themselves at the top of the Premiership Table with 25 points after 11 games played. Their fine rune of form was stooped at the hands of ex Gunner Robin Van Persie as the Dutchman rose highest to meet a Wayne Rooney corner to slot home. Arsenal couldn’t find a way back and failed to score for the first time in this League Campaign. With the likes of Wacott, Podolski and Oxdale Old Chamberlain yet to return, Arsene Wenger has plenty of optimism to look forward to, but come the transfer window there are the following players who are sure to bolster the Gunners squad as they enter the second half of this eventful Premier League season.

1. Blaise Matuidi:

Even though free transfer pickup, Frenchman Mathieu Flamini has done a tremendous job for Arsenal, the Gunners lack cover for Mikel Arteta when they are forcing the pace and controlling possession. Any let off will mean the opponents can quickly break in a counter attack and unfortunately, Arteta is the least you want to when it comes to destroy the opposition’s rhythm. This is  where PSG’s Blaise Matuidi comes into the picture. The French International  is a very fine tackler, surges powerfully ahead and has brilliant vision coupled with dynamism on the ball.

2. Alessio Cerci:

Daily Star reported that both Manchester United and Arsenal are ready to go hammer and tongs to fight it for Torino Forward Alessio Cerci. The Italian international forward has been in sparkling form this season, scoring 8 goals in 12 games in the Serie A. Those performances have certainly captured the imagination and  interest of the likes of United and Arsenal, who are looking for a player that can give some support to the overburdened Olivier Giroud. At times this campaign , Giroud has shown signs of extremely being overburdened by his role, playing as a lone striker up front.

According to Daily Star, Alessio Cerci is rated around £16m, which is considerably cheap for a player of his caliber. With such an inflated market of now, £16m is a clear steal. And with good cash balance available in the bank for the gunners, money won’t be an issue in this transfer saga.

3. Nemanja Matic:

If at all there is one department which will keep Arsene Wenger on his boots, is his defence. Yes, Arsenal have defended very well as a unit this campaign, improving immensely from the previous season. But there is a scope of improvement, with Nemanja Matic of Benfica attracting immense interest. Matic put together a stunning 2012-13 season with Benfica and now looks a prime defensive midfield target for Europe’s top clubs.
