5 Bargain Priced Transfers Arsenal Can Complete
By Josh Sippie
The transfer window is gradually slipping away. While Arsenal do not need any big signing to make them title contenders, a little reinforcement never hurt anyone and there are indeed several places that Arsenal could use that extra reinforcement at.
One such position is at striker. I will always defend Olivier Giroud tooth and nail but he cannot do it alone. It would be wonderful if competition can be procured from Theo Walcott or Danny Welbeck, but that is no guarantee. Chuba Akpom looks set to accept the mantle in the future but aside from that crop, Arsenal are rather dry in the striker department. It is never too early or too much to add a bit more to the fray.

Defensive midfield is another place that desperately needs cover. While I have full faith in Francis Coquelin, he has very little behind him should an injury occur or a dip in form come over him. Mikel Arteta does not have the legs to last a full 90 and Jack Wilshere’s injuries always make him a concern. Plus, we do not even know if Wenger wants to play him in that position.
Left back is another place that I do not feel fully comfortable at. Nacho Monreal has been good. But good is all he will ever be and being a greedy supporter, I want great. Kieran Gibbs could be great but he is not being given a chance and he is not exactly young enough to pull the ‘prospect’ card anymore.
There are options out there. Whether they are available or not is not always public knowledge, but it never hurts to prod.
With Arsene Wenger always looking for a bargain buy, there are plenty of bargain-priced options still available that suit all of these potential needs.
So, lets get started with that list of solutions priced at 15 million pounds or under.
