Arsenal Debate: Why did Arsenal buy Mikel Merino instead of a striker or winger?## Arsenal’s LCM Dilemma: Is Ethan Nwaneri the Answer?Last season, Arsenal struggled without Granit Xhaka. Mikel Merino was brought in as his replacement, but injuries have hampered his progress. Thomas Partey’s undroppability limits Merino’s playing time. Ethan Nwaneri, a young talent, could be the solution. He impressed against Chelsea and offers goal threat. Arsenal’s right-side bias limits his opportunities. With Merino unavailable, why not give Nwaneri a chance? He could be the answer to Arsenal’s LCM woes.
