La Liga Champions Atlético Madrid Interested In Arsenal Duo

Arsenal look to set to lose out on Spanish duo Santi Cazorla and Nacho Monreal to Atlético Madrid as reports in Spain are suggesting that the Spanish champions are preparing a double swoop for them. With both players currently on the fringes of the first-team, it is likely to be a move that benefits both clubs and the players as well.

In a recent press conference, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admitted he is unsure if Thomas Vermaelen will be at the club for the new season. Sky Sports have linked the player with a move away from the Emirates Stadium.

Carl Jenkinson Eyes Regular Gametime - What Potential Arrival Of La Liga Youngster Could Mean For Arsenal Full-Back

Arsenal have already announced the signing of Alexis Sanchez, making it the one of the best ever starts to a summer for the Gunners in my opinion. It must be nice for fans of the North London club to see them competing with big teams and making a mega-money move for someone who starred at the World Cup and for Barcelona last season. It is very unusual for the Gunners to make a signing like this. However, it could be argued that Sanchez isn't a player that Arsenal particularly need.

Gunners Consider Arteta Replacement - Why Real Madrid Star Could Do Well At Arsenal

In the world of football today, it is not uncommon to see players ply their trade in a number of different positions. Additional positions have been created, such as a defensive midfielder, secondary striker and so on. As all of these require a multitude of different strengths, those that have played in them will acquire skills to play in other positions. For example, a box-to-box midfielder may be able to play as a full-back because they have been taught how to attack and defend.

THREE Players That Arsenal Should Send Away From The Emirates Before Next Season

Arsenal fans will have a huge smile on their faces today as Mathieu Debuchy and Alexis Sanchez edge closer to signing for the Gunners. The thought of being able to compete with big teams for a world class player is too much for some, and many of those people have taken to the internet to express their relief. However, with this influx of new players something will have to give and a few players have been selected to be sold or go out on loan. This is not just to free up wages, but also to make sharing playing time viable and ensure everyone is happy.

Gunners Linked With Two South Americans - Why Arsenal Should Choose Barcelona Man Over Fiorentina Star

It must be very hard for many Arsenal fans right now as they see most of their rivals signing some top players and all they have is a bunch of rumours. As an Arsenal fan myself, I can assure you it is very hard. We learned last summer that patience is a virtue and you just cannot write off Arsene Wenger in the transfer market. We thought we were entering the season having just signed Mathieu Flamini and Emiliano Viviano on loan, but on the final day we secured Mesut Ozil for a club record fee. This is proof that Wenger and money can go together very well.

Gunners Eye Three Players - Why Triple Deal Would Show Huge Intent From Arsenal

Arsenal have not yet made a signing for the first team and Arsene Wenger has been criticised for this, especially as most of their rivals have already secured some big money-players. Manchester United have bought Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera. Chelsea has secured Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa. Liverpool have been very busy and signed Adam Lallana, Emre Can and Rickie Lambert, while Manchester City have bought Fernando from FC Porto and picked up Bacary Sagna who was a free agent. They have all spent on key positions which need improving, but now it is time for the Gunners to show that they mean business.

Gunners Eye Schneiderlin - Why The Saints Man Is Exactly What Arsenal Need

To be a successful defensive midfielder you need a number of key attributes. Many think that it is easy playing in the position, but it is actually one of the hardest to master. It is a position that doesn't require you to run a marathon every time you step foot on to a pitch, but you need a little bit of everything to be successful. It is not a position that just any midfielder can play in either. This is especially true for players who are used to attacking; it can create problems if they are told to defend more.

A Closer Look At Arsenal - Why The Gunners Can Win The Premier League Next Season

Arsenal last won the Premier League in the invincible season of 2003/04, which is starting to feel a long, long time ago. Everyone from that team has long gone, including the likes of Thierry Henry, Patrick Viera and Dennis Bergkamp. Could next season be the year the Premier League title finally returns to Arsenal's trophy cabinet?

Arsenal Eye Sagna Replacement - Why Newcastle Defender Would Be A Good Signing

Bacary Sagna was such an important player for Arsenal last season with solid performances in almost every game he featured in. He has been a stalwart for the Gunners since he joined the North Londoners back in 2007. Therefore, a replacement has big shoes to fill as the Arsenal fans are used to seeing that right side so strong. There have been many full-backs linked the Gunners in recent weeks and at one point the club were very close to signing Serge Aurier from Toulouse, but that seems a distant memory now.

Gunners Eye Levante Goalkeeper - Why Costa Rican Star Should Reject A Move To Arsenal

The Gunners are currently in possession of just one first team goalkeeper. It shouldn't take anyone long to realise that Arsenal will almost certainly sign a new one this summer and if the club don't then Arsene Wenger would be making a big mistake. Lukasz Fabianski has walked out as a free agent after Arsenal couldn't tie him down to a new contract. Emiliano Viviano was only a season-long loan which means that he will go back home to his parent club. That leaves just Wojciech Szczesny as the only keeper the Gunners have.

Schneiderlin Is A Good Option For Arsenal - Why The Gunners Should Go For Saints Star Over Real Madrid Man

It is well documented that Arsenal are chasing a new defensive midfielder to give the Gunners an alternative to Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini. Arsene Wenger is certainly eying a much younger, fitter and overall better midfielder to ensure that his defence get the best cover he can afford. With increased cover for his defenders, it could help them in the games that they tend to struggle in and prevent any chance of complete and utter capitulation.

Schneiderlin Linked With Arsenal - Why The Saints Star Is Not The Midfielder The Gunners Need

Arsenal are expected to strengthen this summer after their promising title challenge last season ran out of steam when it mattered. An area that has perhaps been overlooked amongst the talks of strikers and wingers is the centre midfield. Presently the Gunners rely on Mikel Arteta as their only real holding midfielder of any quality, but questions remain regarding his ability to play that position. Arteta has a very impressive pass accuracy of 92% over the past season, although he seems to lack the defensive abilities that Arsene Wenger’s side have been missing.

Arsenal Look At Lars Bender - Why The German Star Would Improve The Gunners

Earlier I suggested that a reason behind the potential departure of Mikel Arteta was because Arsenal were targeting fresh faces in that department. I argued that Arteta shouldn't be sold if the Gunners do sign a new holding midfielder and I will stand by that point even if we see someone new in Arsenal colours.

Gunners Must Fight For Sanchez - Why He Is The Man To Push Arsenal To The Title

Arsenal’s failure to truly challenge for the title has often been attributed to their leaky defence. Last season, however, Arsenal only conceded four more goals than champions Manchester City, with their problem instead being unable to find the opposition’s net, especially in big games. Arsene Wenger’s side regularly lacked a direct attacking threat whenever in-form Aaron Ramsey was unavailable.
