Is he what Arsenal really need?

|

Gilbert ImbulaIt seems Arsenal are keeping tabs on a number of midfielders this summer as they look to strengthen their squad over the summer. The latest name to be added to the list is Guingamp’s Gilbert Imbula, according to the Daily Mail.

Understandably, The Gunners are looking to bring in a defensive-minded midfielder after failing to replace Alex Song who left for Barcelona last summer.

Mikel Arteta has been deployed in the position vacated by Song this season by Arsene Wenger, but it is evidently clear that the Spaniard is not a holding midfielder, which should prompt the club to go out this summer and sign someone who is.

Imbula is the latest name to be linked with the role and is reportedly valued at around £8 million.

However, many of the Arsenal faithful will not even of heard of him, and at 20, the Belgium-born Frenchman currently plays his football in Ligue 2.

He may be a promising youngster, but is he what we are looking for if we are to challenge for silverware next season? I don’t think so.

Would you welcome the potential signing of Imbula this summer?

    Fuck off fag. We r gooners not bummers.

  • Think we need an already tested man whose presence on d pitch will cause ‘concerns’ for our opponents and not an annonimous fellow that will not force respect!

    Imbula is an excellent player, very strong, and will run like a train for 90 minutes. A top top player, trust me.

    The player we shouldn’t buy is Ashley Williams. Totally overrated and very slow defender. Avoid!
