Summer Transfers – 3 Game Changers Who Can Make Arsenal Formidable Again

2. Lars Bender- Central Defensive Midfielder

Bender is a very good central defensive midfielder who has long been linked with Arsenal. Arsenal need a strong and technically good holding midfield player who can contribute to both their attack as well as defence. Lars Bender fits the bill perfectly.
With a strong engine and great passing skills, Bender can be the guy who help Arsenal compete with its title rivals and restore some balance in the team. Playing Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arteta and Wilshere in defensive midfield, Arsenal have been exposed far to easily hence Koscielny and Mertesacker having to work twice harder.
In Bender, they’ll have a good shield as well as good flow of football as well.

24 year old Lars Bender is rated at 22 million but Arsenal might need to spend a bit more considering that he is a very important player for Bayer Leverkusen. Also Bayern Munich are supposedly interested in buying him, which would increase competition for Arsenal both financially as well as psychologically as most Germans prefer Bayern Munich because of the immediate pride and prestige from their countrymen.
