Arsenal Transfers: 5 January Signings Arsene Wenger Needs To Win Title

3. Ilkay Gundogan

Arsenal have one of the best midfielders in the Premier League at the moment thanks to the supremely talented Mesut Ozil and much-improved Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere. However, Ozil can blow hot and cold at times and though there is little questioning his talents, his goal-scoring ratio is low and a poor performance from the German can lead to a poor performance from the side. One more world-class midfielder therefore wouldn't go amiss, someone like Ilkay Gundogan, who is on the radar of Manchester United and Barcelona. The Borussia Dortmund man, who operates as a playmaking central midfielder, shares many qualities with Ozil, in that he possesses passing and technical qualities. But the thought of Gundogan linking up with his Germany teammate in midfield is a tantalizing one, and one that would have most fans licking their lips.
