No he is not a cenral midfielder he is an attacking midfilder with a very low work rate, he cant replace santi, for me we should look for valencia's Andre Gomes he is an amazing all round midfielder can play any where, only 21 and already a leading player of valencia, i really hope that we get him to replace santi in 2 years (justarsenal.com)
Our other 5 players are all so creative and attack minded that we need a defensive midfilder who knows how to defend and cover ground first, be creative second. (arsenalfcblog.com)
Here, i have three Attacking Midfilders... Not Widemen. (justarsenal.com)
