Lars Bender, Bayer Leverkusen – £19m
With Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere flourishing at the Emirates Stadium currently, Wenger’s intentions are to bring in a holding midfielder to protect the pair.
There was interest from North London in Bender in 2013 and despite the fact the Germany international is unsure about leaving Leverkusen, the club are persistent.
However, there are also tabs being kept on Southampton’s Morgan Schneiderlin and Sami Khedira of Real Madrid as alternatives.
