Arteta wants to add a No 6 to his team as he looks to challenge the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City for titles

Arsenal are monitoring Martin Zubimendi’s situation, in the belief they can prove the Real Sociedad player’s most viable destination in the summer. Mikel Arteta wants to add a No 6 to his team, to ensure they have maximum tactical options in midfield.

It’s not incisive, and there’s no proper link-up with the attack. This was evident in games against Newcastle (1-0 loss), Liverpool (2-2), and Bournemouth (2-0 loss). but now….. Martin Odegaard is back. Coach Mikel Arteta must make a difficult choice regarding his midfield setup now that the creative spark Odegaard has returned and reclaimed his position in the team.
