Arsenal Transfers: 5 Shock Moves Wenger Could Make Before Window Shuts

2. Isco

Arsenal never did replace Cesc Fabregas, as has already been mentioned, and who better to replace the midfielder with than the "next Cesc Fabregas"? That's the incredibly flattering title that the 20-year old Spaniard has been labelled with. Apparently, Isco is near the top of Wenger's transfer wishlist with the Frenchman preparing to launch a bid for the Malaga man. He could be available for as little as £8 million due to his club's financial woes, which means he'd be playing right into the hands of Wenger's transfer policy to invest in youth and, if at all possible, avoid spending inordinate sums of money. Wenger is a known admirer of the young midfielder could follow Santi Cazorla is leaving the La Liga outfit for the Emirates. Malaga spent heavily under their new Qatari owners last season in order to qualify for the Champions League, and while they are in this season's knock out stages, their spending appears to be catching up to them, forcing them to offload players.
