Three things that must happen for Arsenal to count deadline day as a success
It has been a testing time for Arsenal fans recently, with severe morale prꦗoblems on th🍸e field resulting in poor performances and shocking score lines.
The Gunners have already suffered two embarrassing defeats after just three Premier League fixtures. Having been stunned by Stoke City, who managed ෴a 1-0 win against Arsene Wenger’s side, the London outfit suffered a humiliating 4-0 lossꩲ at the hands of a rampant Liverpool side.
The Reds exposed all the flaws in the Gunners’ 5-2-2-1 system whilst also demonstrating what new signings can bring to a side. Mohamed Salah was impress✃ive throughout the afternoon and he has hit the g😼round running for his new outfit.
The Egyptian’s form is the polar opposite to Alexandre Lacazette’s start at Arsenal. The Frenchman was poor against Stoke and he found himself benched♏ at Anfield.
Lacazet♔te still has a long period ahead of him to impress, but someone who doesn’t haﷺve much time available is Arsene Wenger.
The Frenchman needs a solid end to the transfer w♛indow to appease Arsenal supporters and here are three things that need to happen in order to generate positivity fꦇrom the stands.
Keep Alexis Sanchez
With only a year left on his contract, financially it makes🐈 little sense to keep Alexis Sanchez, especially when Manchester City are willing to pay more than £50 million for him, according to the .
Yet, Arsenal would be in a much worse position if they were to let t💮heir Chilean star leave. Arguably, he is the only world-class player the Gunners have and his goals are crucial.
Going forward, a fully focused Sanchez could hel💦p Arsenal regain their Champions League spot, which would benefit the club in the long-term as oppose to the short-term cash boost they would receive from selling the winger this summer.
Sign a midfielder
It is clear a season with a midfield pivot of Aaron 𒅌Ramsey and Granit Xhaka will not lead to good results, and so, with the end of the window approaching, Wenger needs to sign a central midfielder capable of defending.
Across all the🤪 top teams in the Premier League, each side has a ‘destroyer’, apart from the Arsenal. Manchester United have Nemanja Matic, Tottenham have Victor Wanyama and Chelsea have Tiemoue Bakayoko, for example.
Therefore, Wenger 🌄needs to stick his neck out and pay up for a player who will do the dirty work for his creative side. Steven N’Zonzi of Sevilla appears to be a perfect candidate for the role, and, according to the , he wants to move.
The former Stoke City man has the discipline and stature to dominate a midfield, a trait the G🧜unners need, and fast.
Sell Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
One of the most unhappy players in the Aไrsenal seems to be Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is𝓀 in the final year of his contract.
The Engꦕlishman has been playing as a right wing-back and, according to , he seeꦡs his future in central midfield or as a winger, positions Liverpool are willing to play him in.
Instead of seeing him leave for free, Wenger should sanction his exit to Merseyside a🦹nd take the £4☂0 million on offer. The 24-year-old hasn’t fulfilled his potential at Arsenal and instead of keeping him against his will, the club should let him leave.
