New signing?

Jean Makoun of Lille recons he has been on the dog and bone to Mr. Wenger about a summer move to The Arsenal.

Makoun is a midfielder and has played over 100 times for Lille. He also has champions league experience and played well at Old Trafford for Lille this season. Makoun is also a regular for Cameroon. I think this would be one reason the transfer will be unlikely. I can’t see Wenger adding any more African players this summer. We will already lose Kolo, Eboue, and Ade to the African Nations Cup in January.

I would like to see us sign a scoring midfield player. Makoun has only got one goal this season. We now have no players with a decent scoring record from midfield. Ljungberg’s goal have dried up and the sale of Bobby has left us 25 goals short. We’ve found in recent weeks a consistent midfield scorer is very important in a push for medals of four fronts.
