CENTRE BACK(CB)
ASHLEY WILLIAMS
The Cb that Arsenal have been linked with the most is Ashley Williams the captain of Swansea,if reports in May were to be believed Arsenal were close to signing Williams but now the links have cooled down.
Stats:
He has an average of 51.8 passes per game this season in Epl little more than Mertesacker(50.1) but way ahead of Vermaelen(40.2) and Koscielny(30.6).He is also leading in the number of clearances per game(10.3) atleast 5 more clearances per game than all of our 3 Cbs but he is behind in offsides won 0.6 per game compared to Koscielny's 1.2 and Mertesacker's 1.1.
Pros:
There is no doubt that Williams is a leader,he can hold the ball under pressure,build from the back.He is strong and also has lots of pace for a Cb,his pace and strenght combo means he can pair with both Mertesacker and Koscielny
Cons:
He is behind our first choice Cbs in offsides won which is one of the most important stat for an Arsenal Cb because playing a high defensive line is an important part of our game Williams does not have any champions league experience and has never played for a top english club.
Probabilityof transfer:5/10
