Popular football management simulation game Football Manager 2020 has delved into Arsenal's link with Leicester City's Wilfred Ndidi and came up with staggering statistics.
Arsenal have seen their defensive woes laid bare for much of this season and their inability to have a good deep lying midfielder protect the rear was further exposed in the 3-0 loss to Manchester City last weekend.
The Gunners faithfuls have long been clamouring for the addition of the Nigerian, and will be more than glad to have him make the switch to the Emirates stadium this winter.
Esports writer Nathan Bliss on Football.London reviewed how he could fare should he join halfway into the season, and the stats unearthed were quite impressive, and even suggested Ndidi will save Arsenal from what have been a calamitous term and help them finish on a high after all.
As per the simulations, he struck an impeccable partnership with Lucas Torreira in the Gunners midfield for the rest of the campaign, racking up six goals and five assists in just 28 appearances and even helped them to a Europa league title as well as a fourth place finish in the Premier League.
He will go on to make the club's best eleven in 2019/20 campaign despite not starting the season with them.
The speculation will undoubtedly be an unprecedented turnaround on Arsenal's season which have bordered on implosion for much part of it, but will the club's hierarchy put out all stops to get their man this window?
