I remember him being a frustrating midfielder to play against from his time in the PL and he seemed just as annoying when we played against him in the Emirates Cup. Not sure how consistent he is these days but if he's better than Elneny and Coquelin then at the very least we would have improved the competition for Xhaka or Ramsey. Not to mention, he would also buy more time until Cazorla can be fully relied upon again
