4) N’Golo Kante to Arsenal
For years, Arsenal have fallen short of the ultimate prize just because of some silly decisions. Arsene Wenger’s stubbornness on not spending big on the right player was one of the reasons why Arsenal have missed out on the League title on numerous occasions.
While they have acquired the services of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez over the last few seasons, the missing link that Wenger fails to acknowledge is the lack of a proper holding midfielder.
No team in the modern era has ever won a league title without a ball-winning midfielder guarding the backline. And Leicester’s PL-winning campaign is a perfect testament to that.
While Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy earned the most plaudits, it is a general consensus among many managers that N’Golo Kante was the pillar on which The Foxes’ success was built. And it seems like Arsene Wenger is one of those managers as the Gunners are being constantly linked the Frenchman.
Given’s Wenger’s patience and adamant nature when it comes to buying players for the price he thinks is right, it won’t be surprising if this pans out to be an agonisingly long saga.
