Arsenal Transfers: 10 Players Arsene Wenger Should Sign in January

6. Micah Richards

Micah Richards is a big, strong, no-nonsense right-back. Richards has been at Manchester City his entire career, and has only been used sparingly this season, despite being the club's vice-captain, which could provide Arsenal with an opening if the price is right. Only 5"11 but built like a brick farmhouse, Richards is pacy and powerful, and versatile across the defensive line. Despite only making 13 appearances for his country, he is regarded by many as the best English right-back at the moment, but the presence of Pablo Zabaleta and the recent arrival of Maicon has left his position well covered and competitive. Wenger would like a player like Richards, for his pace and clear skill, whilst Arsenal fans will adore him for his robust tackling and motivational attitude. At only 24 he has a lot of playing left in his career, and having won the Premier League last year he would be a beacon of success that many others at the club could aspire to and take pride in.
