Arsenal Transfers: 5 Players They Must Sign

4. Radja Nainggolan (Inter Milan)

Granted, the Radja Nainggolan of 2019 is not the Radja Nainggolan of three or four years ago, but he could still have a major influence in reestablishing Unai Emery's Arsenal as a Top 4 team once more.

Nainggolan's days at the San Siro are numbered, with Inter making it clear that they are looking to offload the Belgium international. Despite initially wanting to stay and fight for his place in Antonio Conte's squad, the midfielder has recently accepted that now is the time to look for a new club.

A tough-tackling, all-action player who can lift the spirits of those around him, the former Roma man would be a perfect choice to add some bite to Arsenal's midfield.

At the moment, the dirty work of the Gunners midfield is largely left to Granit Xhaka to deal with. And while he tries his best and might score the odd thunderbastard, Xhaka just really isn't all that good.

Having turned 31 earlier this year, Nainggolan's best years are now behind him, but that's not to say he's still not got a whole lot to offer. With Inter desperate to unload the player, buying clubs are in a favourable position should they decide to take a look at Radja Nainggolan.

And would you just look at that volley in the above video. Absolute filth!
