#2 Franck Kessié
Trending
Francis Coquelin still comes across as someone who has the desire and mental ability to win, but is often let down by his brain-freeze moments, like him trying to piggy-back on Eden Hazard to stop him from scoring a goal.
The argument that Arsenal need more bite and muscle in midfield is a valid one but Coquelin’s weak moments reflect poorly on the Gunners and he needs to be rested every now and then.
With Santi Cazorla practically out of the reckoning courtesy his continuous injury problems, they need someone else who can partner Granit Xhaka – and hopefully Jack Wilshere – in the middle of the park.
Atalanta’s Franck Kessie looks like a man on a mission to destroy oppositions’ midfield. He’s got a great engine on him and times his tackles superbly. He’s even got the physical aspects and the pace to succeed in a league like the Premier League and Arsenal will do well to sign him up.
Player(s) to replace: Francis Coquelin and Aaron Ramsey
