Lars Bender – Bayer Leverkusen
Wenger has had to resort to using Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta as his defensive midfielders lately, and as good as those players are they are most certainly not what the club needs in that area. The club have been in the market for a true defensive midfielder for a long time, whether it be someone to break up play, or spray passes forward to launch attacks.
Bender has been an impressive performer for Leverkusen over the past few seasons now, and the time is right for him to make his way over to the Premier League whilst he is still at an age to learn new ways to adapt his game.
