#2 Steven Nzonzi (Sevilla)

Denmark v France: Group C - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
Nzonzi is the sort of physical player Arsenal have been looking for

Nzonzi’s rise in the years since he left the Premier League has been nothing short of spectacular. When he left Stoke City in 2015, he was a solid Premier League centre midfielder, but after three years at Sevilla, he is a Europa League and World Cup winner, and is seen as one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe.

He has thrived in Spain, and it may be that a return to the Premier League is on the cards. And it has been said that Arsenal are still yet to find a replacement for Patrick Vieira in midfield, and he left in 2005.

It is true that they have lacked that physical presence, and more importantly, they’ve lacked a leader. If Nzonzi was to move to Arsenal, he wouldn’t be quite as good a leader, but few would be.

He would fit the bill as a centre midfielder, and would seamlessly slot into this Arsenal side, given his Premier League experience.
