3) Complemental ability

Out of all the reasons why Meyer is perfect for Arsenal, probably the most important will be his presence allowing the others to flourish.

When Arsenal signed Granit Xhaka a couple of years ago, he was expected to bring his stunning form to the Premier League. But having been deployed in the wrong position for most of his Arsenal career, he hasn't really hit top gear. However, Max Meyer's arrival could potentially change that. So far, Xhaka has been given excess defensive duties, and this drags him back and stops him from showing just how good he is. If given a license to move forward and attack, there is a good chance that he will flourish.

Apart from Xhaka, Meyer's arrival could also enhance Aaron Ramsey's game. Ramsey has shown a glimpse of what he can do this season. Although injuries have troubled him throughout his time at Arsenal, if he maintains his fitness, who knows how many wonders he can work, especially given the fact that he is now entering his prime. Meyer's link-up play could help Ramsey create and convert so many more chances.

To conclude, a move to a large European club is what Meyer needs to take his game to the next level, and with the Gunners needing a replacement for Santi Cazorla to get out of the slump they have been facing for almost two seasons now, it seems like no coincidence that the young German's contract expires in the summer. It's a perfect match!
