Tomiyasu and Holding both need games and could clearly do a job in there at a high level. Likewise Tierney if we were really stuck and obviously White can play there too.

So I figure If we can spunk £20m on a squad filler CB we must be planning something big for cm where an injury to Partey could end our season. Especially now with Eleney possibly injured and Sambi failing to take his chance.
Arteta has made it clear he wants to play with a left-footed centre back (as Pep does - all about the angles innit) so I don't think it is a luxury signing with three* competitions to play for and only Gabriel fitting the bill. Kiwior can also play midfield. And we can also push Benjamin in there whatever Red might say. Still expect us to sign a midfielder though and can't argue with that




*all right probably two after tonight
