da fezbet: New Arsenal manager Unai Emery’s main priority in the transfer market this summer will be to strengthen his midfield and defensive options following a disastrous 2017/18 campaign in which they struggled away from home and once again failed to qualify for the Champions League.
da dobrowin: The Spaniard, who would be making his first big mistake as boss by signing a 29-year-old World Cup star, will know that he needs to boost his backline if they are to enjoy an improved 2018/19 season, and with the likes of Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil in attack he has the top-class options available to him going forward.

However, having lost Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott over the course of the previous two transfer windows, the north London club may well be looking to add some pace in wide areas that they were sometimes lacking earlier this year.
One player that may have caught Emery’s eye on Sunday is Colombia’s Juan Cuadrado, rated at £25.2m by Transfermarkt, who currently plays for Juventus after he proved to be a flop in the Premier League with Chelsea, where he made just 15 appearances in all competitions before he was sold to the Serie A giants.
The 30-year-old showed the speed he has against Poland by successfully completing five dribbles, while he also produced seven crosses and three key passes with a passing accuracy of 95%, as per WhoScored.com.
With one goal from three shots, the wideman proved that he is a goal threat as well as being creative, and he could be the missing link in Arsenal’s attack ahead of the new season.
