#1 James Rodriguez
Arsenal are now in dire need of a quality offensive-type midfielder who could bring some creativity after the confirmed departure of Aaron Ramsey next season. Mesut Ozil has not been able to justify his massive £350,000 a week wage so far, contributing just a single goal and an assist in his last 10 matches.
James Rodriguez has been one of the big names that the Gunners are looking for to fill their midfield. The Colombian is a highly reliable playmaker who has a plethora of experience in Europe's most prominent clubs such as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
He is known for his passing technique and exceptional prowess to create key passes for his team. He could be deployed anywhere in the midfield and would serve as an instant upgrade to Ozil. However, Real Madrid might want him back following their recent disastrous midfield display.
