Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard have both played out on the left this campaign but some supporters and pundits believe this is an area which needs upgrading.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Georgia international Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is one name who has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium and the 25-year-old would certainly add world class quality to the Gunners&#8217; left. The former Napoli man, who made the move to PSG last January in a deal worth around \u00a359million, has scored 12 goals and grabbed seven assists in 37 appearances this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Arsenal hero Nigel Winterburn believes the Georgian could be the perfect summer signing &#8211; but it will all depend if he is open to a move.

He switched a bit with Martinelli, who had that unbelievable run of scoring in four-five games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Trossard was injured and I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s come back to his highest level. Martinelli is in and out of the team. I suppose you&#8217;d say that if Arsenal are looking at upgrading a position, then it would be on that left hand side. That&#8217;s not hiding from the fact or saying that the other two aren&#8217;t good. They are good players but you&#8217;re asking \u2018would the club be looking at someone who can take it to the next level\u2019?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;I think Mikel Arteta and the club would say that we&#8217;re doing that with every position. Certain positions would be very hard to upgrade but you keep looking and keep trying because if the window opens for you to get somebody, you go ahead and take it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Kvaratskhelia, boy oh boy, if he knocked on the door and said I want to come to Arsenal, I don&#8217;t think many people would say, &#8216;no, thank you&#8217;. I think they&#8217;d be saying, &#8216;if we can afford you, come on in&#8217;.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal could be in line for another busy summer if they want to cement their<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":55,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=54"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/55"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=54"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=54"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=54"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
