What Blaise Matuidi Would Bring to Arsenal

Since Patrick Vieira left Arsenal in 2005 Arsenal are yet to win a trophy, and now they need to find someone who can do what he did, play like he played, and lead like he led.

Arsene Wenger is moulding the likes of his terrific youngsters Abou Diaby, Alexandre Song, and Denilson into Vieira, and all look like very talented players, but I think the best option would be AS Saint Etienne's deep lying midfielder Blaise Matuidi.

Arsene Wenger is suppose to be extremely interested in the Frenchman, and why not? At 21, he has already played over 100 games in the Ligue 1.

Matuidi would bring a great footballing brain, stunning awareness, solid midfielding defensive, a superb partner in the center midfield for Cesc Fabregas and his best aspect is his perceptive passing. Arsenal really need all those traits that Matuidi has, and he would be sure to fill the role of Patrick Vieira and Gilberto Silva.

Arsene Wenger is prepared to pay up to £10 million for the midfield maestro, and Matuidi said he would be open to an Arsenal move. Matuidi already has tons of experience and his strength and passing would brighten up Arsenal defence and attack which is vital if Arsenal want to have a serious chance in the Premiership and Europe.

Arsenal really need a player like Matuidi so this is a must buy for Wenger, and I feel if Arsenal fail to sign Matuidi this is a huge waste of player who would be sensational at Arsenal.

Matuidi would be the perfect fit for the Arsenal midfielder and though players like Denilson and Diaby—who are making big steps—would see less game time I still think Matuidi is a must buy.
