Yann M’Vila – Rubin Kazan
The French international has long been rumoured to be on his way to England, only to see a widely tipped move to Liverpool fail to materialise, leading Arsenal to possibly capitalise on his dissatisfaction in Russia.
Arsenal still haven’t found themselves and out-and-out defensive midfielder since Alex Song, and though Mikel Arteta has done a capable job in a deeper midfield area his attributes could be best utilised elsewhere by allowing somebody born and bred in that position to take over.
