10 Forgotten Men Who Desperately Need To Move Before September

7. Francis Coquelin

Another Arsenal player who will presumably be on the lookout for a temporary or permanent move away from the Emirates will be 23-year-old Francis Coquelin. Formerly one of the youth prospects Arsene Wenger would famously turn out for the domestic cup competitions, development has stalled for the French midfielder. Spending last season on loan with Freiburg in the Bundesliga, the former France U21 international failed to set the Bundesliga alight. Due to a combination of not living up to expectation and picking up niggling injuries, Coquelin spent reasonably lengthy spells on the sidelines - with Freiburg incidentally improving somewhat during his absence. As Coquelin moves away from the age where inexperience and his age can be used as an excuse for his form, Wenger is surely left with threadbare options aside from plainly getting rid of the Frenchman. Despite being tidy in possession and capable of plying his trade at a reasonable level, he just simply isn't the player that Arsenal thought he'd turn out to be - with chronic injury problems the sad culprit.
