Forget Xhaka – Wenger First in Race to Sign Quality $43m Star for Arsenal

Arsenal FCArsenal lured the signing of a versatile defensive midfielder in the form of Mohamed Elneny last winter but if reports are anything to go by then the Gunners are still interested in reinforcing the midfield department with another defensive star.
Two top holding midfielders in the form of Xhaka and Kante are heavily linked with a move to the Emirates in the summer transfer window.
The Swiss international is close to Arsenal as per reports but in all honesty, Arsenal must sign the French international who has been brilliant for Leicester City in their title winning campaign.
According to France Football, Arsene Wenger is first in the race to sign the 25-year-old star in the summer transfer window.
In 36 league games for Claudio Ranieri’s side, Kante has scored a goal and provided 4 assists this season.
The $43m (Daily Star) rated Les Bleus star has been the midfield general and has provided rock solid cover in front of the back four all season long.
Arsenal already have the likes of Coquelin, Arteta, Flamini, Elneny and Bielik for the defensive midfield role.
It is highly unlikely that the North Londoners will sign both Xhaka and Kante to overcrowd the department. Hence, signing a proven Premier League player in Kante will probably be the right choice.
In your opinion, should Arsenal sign Xhaka or Kante?
