With The Guardian suggesting that Arsenal are in talks with Schalke playmaker Julian Draxler, who has a buy-out clause of around £37m according to the same reports, it got me thinking.

Did Arsene Wenger Get His Team Selection Wrong vs Southampton?

Arsene Wenger is a man who splits opinions around the country, and even across Europe. The Frenchman has been part of our game for almost 18 years now and he has accomplished a lot in that time, but he's not everyone's cup of tea. He's a man who has instilled a aesthetically-pleasing style of football into the north London side and is somewhat of a genius when it comes to the tactical side of the game. He's not always right though, and I think last night was a case of Wenger being wrong with his team selection.

With just a handful of days left of the January transfer window, we can expect to see a flurry of activity across the country in terms of transfers.

Arsenal: Make A Move For Striker With 21 Goals In 19 Games To Boost Attacking Options

When people suggest that Arsenal need a striker, my mind automatically jumps to one man. He may not have the big reputation that you may associate with a club at the top of the Premier League, nor does he have the experience of some of the names that have been mentioned with the Gunners, but he has scored a hatful of goals and has proved how creative he has been this season. Guessed it yet? I doubt it, as the player I refer to is Herenveen's Alfred Finnbogason.
