Arsenal Transfers: 10 Players Wenger Must Sign To Secure Title

9. Marcelo Brozovic (Dinamo Zagreb/Inter)

Before any deal could be arranged to bring Marcelo Brozovic to London, the player would probably need to return to his parent club, Dinamo Zagreb. At the moment, the Croatian is on loan in Italy, working under Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan. Mancini may be keen to keep hold of the sitting midfielder, but it seems obvious to suggest that Inter don't quite have the financial hitting power that Arsenal possess. In addition to that, Brozovic may find his head turned by the prospect of jousting it out with some of the top clubs in England and helping Arsenal secure the Premier League title. There are signs that the Milan club's Serie A title challenge might be starting to fail. Therefore, he may be more willing to trade Italy for England and be on a winning side come the end of the campaign. In 29 appearances, Brozovic has only netted 3 times, but scoring isn't really his job. As a deep-sitting midfielder, his task revolves more around aiding the defensive backline and stopping opponents from playing through balls. The Independent reports that Inter have the first option on signing the midfielder at the end of the season, so they may wish to hold off until then instead of agreeing to terminate his loan period early.
