Top Ten Talents Who Should Be On Arsenal’s Summer Transfer Window Wish List

Posted by

Ashley Williams (Swansea City)

Williams has been at the heart of the Swansea defence over the last few seasons as the club continue to defy expectations. Williams captained the side to Capital One Cup success and has played a key role in the club’s impressive performance in the Premier League this season.

Arsenal are thought to be in the market for a new centre-back this summer with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger becoming increasingly frustrated at the high profile blunders that have cost the club valuable points in their chase for a Champions League qualification spot. The club’s current centre-backs, Laurent Koscielny, Thomas Vermaelen and Per Mertesacker, are all talented players but none of them are able to lead the defence.

Williams has been identified as a player who could marshal the back four and help plug the gaps that have occasionally formed this season.

Swansea boss Michael Laudrup is a big fan of Williams and is unlikely to sell him on the cheap but Arsenal should have the funds to prize him away from the Liberty Stadium now that the loan on the Emirates has finally been paid off. While he may not come cheaply, Williams could well be worth the outlay as he has proven Premier League experience.
