What Can £20m Midfielder Offer Arsenal?

Arsenal have been crying out for a driving force in their midfield for years now, probably as far back as Patrick Vieira. The lanky Frenchman was central to everything the Gunners achieved while he was at the club and they have missed his presence since he departed. But could this former Manchester United man be the answer to their midfield sorrows?

Sorrow is probably an exaggeration, as Cesc Fabregas filled the void for quite some time. But with Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere and Tomas Rosicky roaming the central positions at present, there looks to be a shortage of quality in reserve.

Who is the man I refer to, I hear you ask. Well, Paul Pogba is his name, and he is set to become one of the most established young players in Europe.

He slipped from the grasp of Manchester United last year, as Sir Alex let him depart, before being snapped up by Serie A outfit Juventus. He had a remarkable debut season for the Italian Champions and was integral to thei performances .

The kid has everything – remarkable strength, impeccable technical abilities and an eye for goal. The France international scored five times in his 27 league games last term and created 22 chances, but also made an average of three defensive actions per game.

A bid of £20m has been made, according to ITV, but will it be enough?
