Arsenal Transfers: 10 Defensive Midfielders Arsenal Must Sign

3. Lars BenderClub: Leverkusen The German international has made a strong impact on the Leverkusen set-up since his introduction to the first team in 2009. The last two seasons have been him play 78 times for the German outfit and was included in the Euro 2012 squad (making 4 appearances, one at rightback). He has the same versatility as often demonstrated by Flamini in his Arsenal days, but has a bigger frame and generally is a stronger presence in the middle of the park. Unfortunately he is currently his club's vice captain, so would probably be unwilling to move away whilst he builds on the solid career he has already built himself. http://youtu.be/gVUxtE8ltvQ
