Golovin is arguably the most ideal Wilshere replacement in terms of his playing style and he has been on the radar of the London club for some time now. Before the World Cup even started, the Gunners were heavily linked with a move for the youngster. Till now, he has attracted interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Juventus among others.

Th Russian wonderkid is the midfield engine of both the Russian National Team and CSKA Moscow. His attacking prowess, involving his ball control in tight spots, his passing range and his ability to carry the ball forward, make him a special talent at such a young age. He is capable of winning the ball in the midfield and has also got an eye for scoring as was evident from his displays at the 2018 World Cup.

Golovin was, without a doubt, one of the best young players at the World Cup. He was also a crucial factor behind Russia reaching the quarter-finals of the tournament.

The Russian magician will not come cheap by any means at all. So, Arsenal may have to reach deep in their pocket to sign him.
