5 football clubs that desperately need to buy before the transfer deadline

#5 Arsenal

For Arsenal, this is almost a regular appearance, even during a transfer window where they seem to have done all their business quite early, which is certainly surprising. However, a closer look at the squad shows a gaping hole in central defence, and an inadequate support at Right Back. True, Calum Chambers may have played well so far, but to expect a 19 year old to be shifting across the backline as support, and if rumours are to be trusted even as a defensive midfielder, is putting too much burden. They need to sign at least one central defender, and a full back if they are to cope with the amount of injuries they always seem to have.

They also need a defensive midfielder, and though Arteta is the captain, he’ll definitely a much younger player in support if Arsenal are not to be caught out against the big teams. Flamini is an option, but he seems to have lost the manager’s confidence. Up top, there has been an incessant cry for a proven goalscorer and to have only Giroud again, with Sanogo in support, would yet again spell disaster for the team.
