Arsenal Transfers: 5 Signings Arsene Wenger Needs To Avoid Disaster

3. Nani

Nani Now that mis-fit Gervinho has agreed a move to Serie A side Roma, Arsenal are a bit light on attacking options. And one player who could help fill the space freed up in the wide areas by Gervinho's departure is Manchester United's Nani. Nani has been a peripheral figure at Old Trafford in recent times and last season made just 10 Premier League appearances after suffering injury and subsequently falling down in the pecking order behind Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia. And the Portuguese flier could find first-team opportunities even more difficult to come by this season with the arrival of Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace - a transfer that could sound the death-knell for Nani. With just a year left on his contract, United know they need to sell now or risk losing the player for nothing in 12 months' time, and after six seasons of failing to prove himself, it doesn't look as though a renewal of the winger's contract is forthcoming. And that could allow Arsenal to take advantage and bolster their midfield this summer.
