Arsenal Transfers: 10 Players Wenger Must Buy To Stop The Rot

4. Ibrahim Afellay

Afellay is a powerful and dynamic player with great ball skills that would fit easily into the way Wenger sets his teams out. He can play on either wing, sitting behind a lone forward and can even play as a central midfielder. He has the ability to ghost past a marker and deliver a telling cross but is equally adept at changing the pace of the game by running at a defence and committing players. Injuries kept him to only five appearances last season and his lack of match sharpness showed at the Euro's. Due to the production line of players that Barcelona have Arsenal could get him for as little as £6 million. He would be well worth the expense as questions remain about the future of Walcott and the form of Gervinho. Having just Podolski and Oxlade-Chamberlain as your only threat from a wide area is a desperate thought for Arsenal fans and something you don't want to build a championship campaign around.
