Granit Xhaka Can Lead Arsenal On Pitch Explains Gunners Star

It’s that time of the season again, and just like clockwork, Arsenal fans are getting anxious about their lack of summer transfer activity.

Arsene Wenger has never missed out on qualifying for the Champions League since he became the Gunners manager back in 1996.

The former England global and football pundit Stan Collymore has deemed Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez as not ‘of the highest level’. It would also, I’m sorry to say, leave Wenger’s reputation shredded to bits.

Wenger of course would stress that there’s no point buying for the sake of it, especially when the standard of the squad is on average at a very high level and it’s becoming harder to make improvements without spending huge money.

Collymore compared Wenger to the rest of the Premier League’s managers, stating that he believes the Frenchman is too stubborn with his transfer budget, despite it being “as clear as day” that he needs to spend. “Xhaka is the right type of signing, mobile and aggressive”, Collymore told the Metro.

Arsenal have signed Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach while United’s three signings – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Eric Bailly – have all been brought in from overseas.

“Wenger could have done it with Luis Suarez, the Uruguayan could be banging in goals for Arsenal now rather than Barcelona”.

Lacazette, meanwhile, has been linked with moves to Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, in the past.

“We can’t afford to outgun competitors that have far more money”.

“But sometimes you have to gamble and pay whatever it takes to get a Gonzalo Higuain or similar striker”.
