Arsenal are into the transfer market to sign a defensive midfielder in January given Mikel Arteta’s injury concerns and Mathieu Flamini’s inconsistency. Abou Diaby only further reiterates why signing a defensive midfielder is a must.
The Brazilian international made his breakthrough in 2012, when Spartak Moscow lured the holding midfielder away from Vasco da Gama. He has since evolved into an ironman at the Russian club thanks to his natural physical qualities.

Arsene Wenger has been forced to play Mathieu Debuchy and Nacho Monreal out of their natural positions thanks to injuries to Laurent Koscielny. With a view of making up for the depleted squad at the heart of the Gunners’ defense, Arsene Wenger is now eyeing up a move for Schalke’s Benedikt Howedes.
The German international is exactly the type of player, whom the Gunners managers would hanker for given his height and versatility. His contract runs till the end of 2016/17 campaign and at £15 million, the Schalke captain comes off as a bargain. Besides, the Schalke defender’s age proves that he could be the Gunners’ anchor at defense for the seasons to come.

Arsenal have struggled massively this season with injuries in defence, therefore it seems logical Arsene Wenger will look to strengthen in that area next month.
However, any hopes he had of getting West Ham ace Winston Reid on a cheap appear to have been squashed by the Hammers boss Sam Allardyce.
The New Zealand international has been a dependable league player since moving to Upton Park in 2010 from unknown Danish club Midtjylland.
