There is a good chance that Arsene Wenger will be looking to sign one of these two attack minded players to add to the Arsenal squad this summer, or if not one of Arda Turan or Riyad Mahrez, then at least a player in the same sort of mould.
They are both the type of player that has been seen in recent years as a typical Wenger signing, with more technical ability and flair than the stature and physicality that some managers tend to go for, but I am not saying that Arsenal should not be looking at this type of player at all.
We could certainly have done with either Turan or Mahrez in the season just gone, especially as we missed the trickery of Santi Cazorla in the centre so much after his injury. So as both the Leicester City and Algeria star and the Barcelona and Turkey midfielder have been strongly linked with Arsenal, the question is which would you prefer Wenger to sign?
Would the Premier League experience of Mahrez tip the balance towards him? Would the fact that Turan proved his steel as well as his skill when playing under Diego Simeone for Atletico Madrid get him the nod? What are your thoughts Gooners?
