In: Mohamed Diame (West Ham)
Arsenal were supposedly very close to signing the West Ham midfielder in January, though a move never materialised. The former Wigan man is said to have a £3.5million minimum release clause and that is likely to be tempting to Wenger due to his reluctance to spend big money. Diame has looked like everything Arsenal need in midfield this season, as they still lack a real replacement for Alex Song.
The likes of Mikel Arteta and Aaron Ramsey have attempted to plug the gap, but they are somewhat out of position in such a deep role. Abou Diaby could have been the answer, but he has found himself injured yet again. Diame is surely the answer to this problem, as Wenger is unlikely to find a player of this quality for so cheap anywhere else.
