2. Miralem Pjani‡

The Roma midfielder is on the radar of a number of top clubs this summer, with Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal
all keeping tabs. Described as an "old fashioned playmaker with huge technical quality", Pjanic's best abilities are his passing qualities and chance creation. Along with his five assists last season, Pjanic created
56 goalscoring opportunities and also netted three times. The Bosnian is the sort of creative force that Arsenal have badly lacked since the days of Cesc Fabregas and though his assist-ratio isn't nearly as high as the Spaniard's, he is still only 23. Pjanic would be a terrific addition to the Gunner's midfield and perhaps even the perfect foil for Theo Walcott.
