Miralem Pjanic – Juventus

Creative talent can be difficult to find, but Arsenal would be able to bring immense quality to their side with the addition of Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic. The 26-year-old has been one of the most exciting players in the Italian Serie A over the past few seasons.

After several promising seasons in Ligue 1, Pjanic transferred to AS Roma in the summer of 2011. His time in the capital would see tremendous performances, both in scoring goals and assisting team-mates in the attack.

His presence in the midfield at Arsenal could see benefits in the middle of the pitch, as well as adding a dangerous weapon in free-kick situations.

One of the more intriguing rumours of 2017 features the idea of Alexis Sanchez moving to Juventus in a swap for Pjanic, although it may be difficult to say Arsenal would get the better of the deal. With the recent issues between Sanchez and the club however, that plan may possibly seem more enticing now than it did just a few months ago.

The ability to create in the attack is always at a premium in the English Premier League, and Arsenal could gain those attributes with the signing of Miralem Pjanic this summer.
