Arsenal need a combative, dynamic presence in midfield. Mathieu Flamini lacks the technical ability to really fit into Arsene Wenger’s fluid style, while Mikel Arteta is increasingly immobile. Bender provides Borussia Dortmund with all the qualities Arsenal need, and the Gunners could be set to make for £15m bid shortly.
