With Emery’s men lacking pace on the wings, a player like Lemar is the perfect signing to help solve that problem. Lemar's ability to create goal scoring opportunities for teammates via the flanks would benefit Arsenal's strikers a lot.

Lemar almost signed for the Gunners last year, but Wenger decided to pounce on Aubameyang instead.

The 22-year-old France international would be a great addition to Emery’s team. He is capable of initiating attacks from deep areas of the pitch by sparking counter attacks; an area the Gunners are in dire need of aid.

Thomas Lemar has been struggling for game time in Spain. The France international has had a difficult spell at his new club, Atletico Madrid, causing speculation about a potential move away.

The Gunners should make a bid for Lemar.


Final thoughts

Unai Emery has stated clearly that he sees the essence of bringing in two to three players during this winter’s transfer window. This is understandable, judging by the number of injuries at Arsenal in recent weeks.

Chelsea’s Gary Cahill is one player that has hit headlines, touted to be the ultimate solution to solving the defensive crisis slowly killing Arsenal’s dreams of finishing in the top four. The Gunners’ shock 5-1 defeat away at Anfield shows you how much this team requires reinforcements at the back.

Arsenal fans are also hoping to see their team strengthen, with names such as Lemar and Ousmane Dembele been linked to the club.
