Ten players Arsenal should sign to revamp their failing squad, including Real Madrid legend

6) Lars Bender – Bayer Leverkusen

The Gunners desperately need a combative and robust midfielder. Arteta can pass, but he’s not physically imposing enough to win back possession, and while Flamini works hard, he lacks the technical ability to join in attacks. Bender can do all of these things, and would seemingly provide a perfect partner for Jack Wilshere or Aaron Ramsey.
