It was an impressive end to the 2014/15 campaign for Arsenal and many now expect them to launch a formidable charge for next season’s Premier League title.
But when comparing the Gunners to the other title contenders there’s still one obvious difference; a lack of height, power and all-round physicality in the middle of the park.
Francis Coquelin emerged as an impressive option at the base of midfield last term but measuring in at just 5 foot 10 and still relatively inexperienced, expecting him to regularly outperform the likes of Chelsea’s 6 foot 5 monster Nemanja Matic, Manchester United’s Belgian battering ram Marouane Fellaini and Manchester City’s powerhouse playmaker Yaya Toure during those all-important title clashes seems like a rather tall order.
With that in mind, This Is Futbol have conjured up a list of 10 beastly holding midfielders the north London club should be targeting in the transfer market this summer.
Which of these ten would you like to see in the Arsenal starting XI next term? Comment below!
