2. William Carvalho
The Sporting Lisbon youngster is a highly recommended defensive midfielder with plenty of energy and character. He could patrol the Gunners midfield and stop attackers while letting more creative players like Jack Wilshere focus on attacking. The Portuguese midfielder may appeal to Wenger more than Khedira as he is young, so the Frenchman could mould him into a great player like he did with Viera, Henry and Fabregas. Carvalho won’t come cheap with Sporting set to demand at least £20 million but the Gunners need to sign a quality player to solve their midfield problem.
