Arsenal Transfers: 10 Players Arsene Wenger Should Sign in January

7. Igor Akinfeev

Igor Akinfeev is a world class goalkeeper, and that is a title that hasn't been prescribed to an Arsenal goalkeeper for almost a decade. It is no secret that the men between the sticks for Arsenal are prone to the eccentric moment or two, and Akinfeev is a boring, safe player; the best kind of player. The best goalkeepers are those that are mentioned only a few times per game, and that is what he would bring to Arsenal. The No.1 at CSKA Moscow would be an instant hit at Arsenal, as the Russian has won 3 Russian League Titles and the UEFA Cup, and despite a recent dry spell in terms of glory, he is evidently considered the best that Russia has to offer. Eventually he will want to test himself on another stage, and Arsenal should be ready when that happens before Manchester United grab another goalkeeper.
