Lars Bender (Bayer 04 Leverkusen)
Of the two Bender twins, it has been perhaps surprising to see Lars most regularly linked with an Arsenal transfer.
Lars Bender is a more box to box midfielder than his brother Sven, who plays a more defensive anchor role for Borussia Dortmund, and if Arsene Wenger’s aim is to replace the ageing Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini, Bender would be a surprise choice.
Perhaps instead Bender is to be brought in to provide competition to all action duo Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere, who were both injured at various points last season.
