Nemanja Matic

Sky Sports: " A report doing the rounds is that Arsenal are preparing to join the race to sign Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic. The Gunners have made contact with Matic’s agent Dejan Mitrovic about a possible move to the Emirates, according to TalkSPORT."

Chelsea are also said to be considering bringing him back to Stamford Bridge with Mourinho big fan: "Matic is a good player. Currently he looks solid and mature. He is wise and stable. He is a player that looks very mature on the pitch… [But Benfica] is a big club and he seems comfortable..."I don’t see any interest from the club to want to sell him"

I think this would be a great move but would likely happen in the Summer. Would add a bit of power and height to our midfield and at 25 his best years are ahead of him.

I would probably opt for Khedira however who is likely to cost less.

This. I like the look of him but am not sure that we need him now.

Matic and Ginter seem two options for the summer, young up and coming Wenger types, but both big and powerful.

(I base this on their height's on wikipedia and pictures/videos found on google LOL)

I though he he's got £40m release clause in his contract? Very good player, one of the best in his position but £40m is ridiculous money for him.

If we have to spend £40 millions, then buy a top striker, maybe Diego Costa or Wayne Rooney. Almost the same price.

I'd much rather have Pogba if we were gonna spend £40m on a central midfielder. But for £20m-25m I wouldn't be able to say no.

I'd rather Pogba but Matic is more disciplined. Would love either mind
