Arsenal were expected to sum their transfer activity up with the imminent capture of long-term striker target Karim Benzema, but recent reports claim that Arsene Wenger may still not be done with his relentless transfer activity this summer.
Arsenal supporters witnessed the highly unlikely resurgence of then forgotten Francis Coquelin last season and the Frenchman even attained a stature that made him one of the first names on the teamsheet.
The Gunners manager also heaped praise on his compatriot on many occasions; however seems to sense the need for an upgrade now.
Emirates Stadium witnessed the arrival of a world-class footballer from Barcelona in the shape of Alexis Sanchez only last season and by the look of things, his former teammate Sergio Busquets may well follow in his footsteps.
Metro reported earlier today that it is the Barcelona anchorman and not Karim Benzema, who tops the wishlist for the summer and the decision to prioritize the signing of the holding midfielder highlights the need for squad depth.
Even though Arsenal are expected to possess sufficient funds to acquire the services of the 27-year-old, it all comes down to the decision of the player whether he would leave Camp Nou, where he has spent his entire senior football career at.
Sergio Busquets may cost the London side nothing short of £40million given his accolades and the fact that his Barcelona contract runs for four more seasons and he can be expected to take over the holding midfield responsibilities completely away from Francis Coquelin given his fantastic reputation.
