Sevilla star to solve Arsenal’s defensive midfield problems?

Arsenal are weighing up a January move for defensive midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak, according to reports in Italy.

The 24-year-old only joined Sevilla this summer from French club Remis for £3.5m, but he has reportedly impressed Arsene Wenger so much that the Gunners boss is considering a bid for his services.

Arsenal were in the market for a holding player during the summer and the north London club have been linked with moves for Real Madrid's Sami Khedira and Sporting Lisbon's William Carvalho.

However, Wenger was unable to bring in any targets for that position and as such he is expected to renew his search in January.

And, according to TMW, Krychowiak is the man Wenger has identified to solve Arsenal's defensive midfield problems.

The Poland international has been a regular fixture in the Sevilla team this season, helping them defy the odds and climb to second in the La Liga table after nine games.
