Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has just seen his side prevail against a Kompany less Manchester City side but even though Arsenal impressed, Wenger is said to be worried about the midfield situation especially after watching City wreak havoc in the in the final 15 minutes of the game. A major pressing point is the fact that the Gunners have begun their annual injury magical chairs and, this time, it has struck where it hurts the most. Francis Coquelin, Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez, arguably the best three players on the Arsenal side in the past year have all been sidelined with long-term injuries and even though Ozil has taken on the responsibility in the attacking part of the game, so far no one has actually proven to be a proper Coquelin replacement in the North London side

Wenger has been looking to strengthen in this area for a very long time and many Arsenal fans would agree that they haven’t had a proper destroyer since the revered Patrick Vieira last graced the Highbury pitch.

Along these lines, it is being said that Arsenal might want to buy the 33 million pound rated Grzegorz Krychowiak who currently plies his trade for the Spanish side Sevilla. He is probably the most important player in the team after their wide Ukrainian Konoplyanka and is highly sought after by the top teams.

Wenger had reportedly baulked at his 22 million pounds asking price over the summer but is desperate to reign in reinforcements and might be willed into loosening the purse strings. With an immense Barcelona fixture coming up, a proper backup might be invaluable. The Polish international is willing to listen to offers from the elite clubs and even though is settled at the Seville club, he would definitely want to move on to a team more worthy of his talents.

Arsenal has not had such a great shot to win the Premier League ever since they had Robin van Persie firing in the goals and it would be extremely foolish of Wenger to take this opportunity lightly and pass out on potentially the greatest moment for Arsenal Football Club in over a decade.
