Arsenal have needed reinforcements in the squad this season and the
lack of these reinforcements have been telling in recent times with the
many injuries that have plagued the team.The club manager Arsene Wenger was under-fire in the as he could not
get any outfield players as additions to the squad despite the fact that
everyone knew the team needed reinforcements especially in defensive
midfield.However, Arsenal defensive midfielder Francis Coquelin has been a
revelation and has not allowed Arsenal fans miss the lack of another
defensive midfielder but with the injuries affecting the team at the
moment, it is quite obvious that the team needs additions.The reports insist that Swiss international defensive midfielder Granit Xhaka who currently plays for Borussia Monchengladbach could finally complete the move to the Emirates stadium in the January transfer window. The former FC Basel man has been in fantastic form this season and has been attracting attention from several top-flight clubs including Barcelona who have on occasionally sent scouts to monitor the player.
The 23-year-old has signed a deal which. expires in 2019 but report claims he is ready to make the switch to English Premier League and it is believed that the Gunners will seal this deal if they are able to meet his release clause of 30 million Euros.
It remains if this is guaranteed or just another Wenger drama.
