Gunners fans have been crying out for their boss to land a defensive midfielder and it appears that Sporting Lisbon enforcer William Carvalho is the man on Wenger’s wish–list with a £20m bid on the cards.
Sporting Lisbon has previously placed a far higher price-tag on the 22 year old Portuguese international but it appears they have reduced their valuation and a January move may well be just the type of addition Wenger needs as he battle for a top four finish.
Carvalho is a far more suitable option to provide some steel in the centre of the park than Frenchman Mathieu Flamini and Spanish veteran Mikel Arteta.
