Arsenal Transfers: 8 Exceptional Deadline Day Signings Wenger Should Make

7. Cheik Tiote

Wenger has apparently already turned down the chance to sign the Ivorian for £12m, but that might not be the end of the matter, as he is known to be an admirer of his tough-tackling displays. Sadly for Wenger, Tiote is not the player he was a couple of years ago, and while his combative style suits big games, he is not a footballing midfielder as much as a raging terrier kicking people and picking up the inevitable yellow cards he gets every single game. If that can be shook out of his game, he could still be a good option.
