DONE – Arsenal Finally Complete Defensive Midfielder Signing

Arsenal have been in search of a defensive midfielder for a long time but the wait is finally over for the supporters.

With Flamini and Arteta out injured, Gunners have been looking for someone who could provide the back for with much needed cover.
Finally, the North Londoners have completed the signingof defensive midfielder in the form of 17 year old Krystian Bielik.
As per the provided link, the youngster passed his medical yesterday to seal the move to Emirates.
Understandable that fans will not be as exciting by his arrival as they would have been if Arsenal would have signed a proven holding mid player such as the likes of Sami Khedira or William Carvalho.
However, Wenger has assured that he has not really signed Bielik to be used as a make shit player but he will be in the first team squad straight away, even for the all important game against Manchester City today.

Wenger calimed:

“Yes [he will go into the first-team squad],”

“He’s a defensive midfielder, 6ft 2ins, he has a good energy level and technical level. Also, it’s a gamble. But on what we saw it’s worth taking.”
He did state that it could be a gamble but for 2 million pounds, Arsene was always going to take this.
Surely, Wenger should not look to give him a start against champions right away but it will be intriguing to see if he gets game time and can contribute well.
