5 players Arsenal could sign before the transfer window closes

Marcelo Brozovic

Marcelo Brozovic has been with Inter Milan since the January of 2015 and has become a vital cog for the Italian side ever since. His despair over the club’s inability to win trophies has grown over the years though and it seemed that he would leave Inter this summer. However, his manager has calmed nerves at the San Siro by revealing that while the player is indeed upset at the lack of trophies, his heart is with Inter and he will not leave. If Arsenal can somehow manage to activate his £45m clause, they could bring in a change in the script though.

Like Tierny before him, Brozovic has also been compared to another legend, this time from a much more direct rival than Liverpool; Chelsea’s Frank Lampard. He has received a lot of praise for passing, tackling, runs and stamina. Brozovic is usually deployed as a deep lying playmaker or a box to box midfielder. However, he is versatile enough to play anywhere in the midfield; A trait Arsenal will greatly benefit from if they can get his signatures.
