Arsenal have suffered a blow in their bid to bring Saul Niguez to the Emirates after Atletico Madrid reportedly blocked his Janaury transfer following an injury setback to Tiago’s. The Gunners have their own injury concerns as they are already without the services of key players.
Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin are the two players, who played alongside each in the midfield are out of action. Jack Wilshere is recovering from his long-term injury and the situation has left Arsene Wenger with Mathieu Flamini as the only player in that position as Mikel Arteta is struggling to regain full fitness.
