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

3. Cristian Tello

Yet another from Barcelona's world famous La Masia academy Tello made the jump to Barca's first team last season making 22 appearances in all and chipping in with7 goals. He can play as an out and out forward or as a winger, in a similar mould to Thierry Henry. Just like Henry he has searing pace and is probably faster than Walcott and has a better eye for goal than the Englishman. Tello would be a direct replacement for Walcott and would fit in with Arsene Wengers desired style of play. At 20 his game is incredibly raw and has plenty to learn but that is the kind of player Wenger likes. Having already left Barca once, for Espanyol B in 2008 only to return two years later, it's not inconceivable that he could do it again. Contract wrangling's between the two party's have been documented in the past which led to him being on Liverpool's radar. It's worth noting that on his Champions League debut last season he came off the bench to score twice in a 7-1 win over Leverkusen proving that the big occasions don't phase him.
