Arsenal Transfers: 10 Players Wenger Must Sign To Secure Title
5. Yannick Bolasie (Crystal Palace)
Unlike many others on this list, Yannick Bolasie hasn't been linked in transfer news with a move to Arsenal. However, the Crystal Palace wide man is the type of player that the London side could benefit from signing. Unlike many other wingers or wide players at the club, he's powerful and physically strong. That's a quality that seems to be missing from Arsenal's midfield and front line. For Palace, Bolasie has been an excellent signing. He may have only scored 11 goals since 2012 for his team, but Bolasie is integral to Alan Pardew's side. He's pacey, bustling and seemingly willing to run all day if he has to. That kind of energy would be perfect for Wenger, who may agree that some of his more forward-thinking players dislike the idea of tracking back to help the defence cover their mistakes. Yannick Bolasie would thunder up and down the flanks at will, and he could be an injection of excitement that Arsenal need to get over the final hurdle this season. Crystal Palace likely wouldn't let the player go cheap, but he knows the Premier League well by now and has experience of playing against all of the teams involved.
