Why German Winger Could Be The Perfect Addition For Arsenal
Okay, by now the news that Arsenal are set to move in for for Patrick Herrmann is out already, and he’s not a young promising player that Arsene Wenger’s side is not aware of anymore. But more than two months ago, I wrote an article suggesting German players that Arsenal should consider, and Patrick Herrmann was one of them. Now let’s have a closer look at the player and why he could be a great signing for Arsenal.
Why It’s Time For Borussia Dortmund To Stop Acting Like Underdogs
BVB have stepped their game up in recent years, as they went so far as to win the Bundesliga two times in a row, participate in every Champions League since the 2011/12 season and even make it to the most recent final of the competition. Despite this fact, their transfer policy still looks like one of a Premier League team contending for a Europa League spot.

A look at the terribly huge decline of Serie A
In 2006, Italian football was hit by a match-fixing scandal known as Calcipoli that involved the country’s top football leagues. As a result, Juventus, the team with the most Serie A titles, was relegated to Serie B. They also received a nine-point deduction ahead of the new season and were stripped of the 2005 and 2006 Serie A titles. AC Milan, the team with the second most Serie A Championships, recieved an eight-point deduction for the following season. And that, football fans, is how the downswing of Italian football league began.
Why Arsenal Should Consider Move For Bundesliga Forward
The 21-year-old German versatile forward can play out on the wings or in the middle, but with his current team, Hoffenheim, he has been playing mostly behind the striker. Perhaps at the moment, that is not a position Wenger is looking to reinforce, but the young talented player’s versatility and young age would be worth investing in. Technically, Volland can fit in with the likes of Özil, Walcott, Wilshere, Podolski, Cazorla and even Giroud spots.
