Wilfried Bony
The Swansea striker proved his mettle in the Premier League with 16 league goals and 25 overall last season. These are tallies that are strong enough for a striker to ply his trade for a Champions League playing club. Arsenal could do well with Bony in the centre forward position as he’s a striker who offers power and physicality in the middle with great finishing technique. He is a striker who may well displace Giroud from the starting line-up as he is an obvious upgrade on shooting.
Bony’s skills were there for all to see last year as he lifted Swansea’s state. His experience of playing with a team that plays the ball more through the ground would also help him play in Arsenal as the Gunners like to play a good passing game when in possession. He would also offer directness as and when needed as he’s a big fellow up front who can be a target for hoofed up deliveries (no more Mertesacker playing striker). Bony has apparently expressed his desire to play in a bigger club than Swansea and Arsenal do fit the bill easily. Swansea won’t stand in his path apparently and an offer around 15-20 million pounds, which the Gunners surely afford, could bring the Ivorian to the Emirates.
