4) Lars Bender (Bayer Leverkusen)
One of the finest defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga, Arsenal have been linked again with a move for Bayer Leverkusen star Lars Bender, whom they also tried to sign in last summer’s transfer window. Although Bender would likely come at a similar price to that of Khedira’s, the German international is younger and arguably has more potential as a long-term investment. A great leader in the middle of the park, Bender would add some much-needed steel to this Arsenal squad as they look to rediscover the mental toughness needed to win titles.
