Arsenal: One player from each Bundesliga team to target
By Josh Sippie
Mainz
Mainz current,y have three midfielders filling two positions, and the one that I am most interested in is the one that hasn’t been featuring as much lately—Jeremiah St. Juste. The 23-year-old Dutchman falls into the category of many others on this list—his versatility is his big draw.

While he doesn’t boast the best size, he makes up for it with a tenacity and a fearlessness that helps him accommodate well to playing centerback. Not at all unlike Shkodran Mustafi, who is also criticized for his size.
That said, St. Juste can play midfield just as well, and might well do that if Mainz didn’t instead have two other guys in there.
St. Juste’s style fits what the Gunners are currently building for—he’s proactive, aggressive, and isn’t afraid to take the ball and push it forward, hence the link to the midfield as well.
He’s a good choice for a swing option if we do find ourselves in need of filling a position or two without breaking the bank on it.
Coming up next, Paderborn.
