At just 23 years old, Nabil Fekir is the youngest player of the five possible replacements for Mesut Ozil. However, with 79 appearances in Ligue 1 since the age of 19, the Algerian has plenty of experience and ability to play at the highest level.

With 51 created chances, Fekir is closest to Ozil in terms of creativity, proving that the Algerian could indeed flourish in Ozil's role if he was to make the move to Arsenal this summer.

Furthermore, if Wenger is to stay at Arsenal, Fekir would be the most realistic signing. Firstly, because he is likely to be the most affordable and the player most likely to want to move to Arsenal from their current club and secondly because of Wenger’s experience of buying players from Ligue 1 at a young age.

The Algerian is only likely to get better at 23 and could certainly be convinced to make a move to the Premier League, suggesting he would be a fantastic addition to Arsenal’s side as a successor to Ozil.
