Arsenal Transfer News: 3 potential replacements for Jack Wilshere at Arsenal

Meyer is arguably the hottest free agent in football right now.

#1 Max Meyer

Meyer is another apt option for Arsenal to sign due to his similar playing style to Wilshere. Temptingly, the 22-year-old is considered one of the top young midfielders in Europe and is currently not associated with any club after refusing to renew with Schalke.

Meyer, who prefers playing as an attacking midfielder or a winger, is more than capable of playing as a central playmaker. He has got good ball control, passing ability, vision, and dribbling skills akin to Wilshere. The most attractive attribute is his tendency to look for team-mates in goal scoring positions. Add to that, the fact he can contribute with goals of his own from time to time. All these qualities make him an extremely valuable asset in a team.

Max Meyer is very young and will only become better with time. Therefore, he should be the front-runner for replacing Jack Wilshere in the eyes of coach Unai Emery. Given that he is also a free agent, this could end up being a superb piece of business for the Gunners.
