Why Arsenal should sign Scott Parker in the Summer

The future for Arsenal?

 Scott Parker has been brilliant this season for West Ham and has been an inspirational leader for the Hammers. Scott Parker also featured at the weekend for England and put in an impressive performance. He was playing alongside a certain Jack Wilshere and the duo appeared to be made to play with each other and I feel the two of them could compliment each others games for the Arsenal in the future.

 There are many qualities that Scott Parker would bring to the Arsenal side. He is a complete midfielder with huge experience and would be the natural leader the team appears to lack at times. He works hard all the time and when you have the likes of Arshavin in your side you need players like Scott Parker. He is also quite defensively minded whereas the majority of Arsenal's midfielders aren't which would be another valuable aspect of his play for Arsenal.

I can see maybe both Denilson and Diaby leaving Arsenal in the Summer and they will need replacing. Henry Lansbury will be returning from Norwich where he has been outstanding this summer and Aaron Ramsey will also be back to his best by next season. If Arsenal signed Parker we would have maybe the best midfield in the league, Song,Wilshere,Fabregas,Parker,Nasri,Ramsey and Lansbury. This would also be a good mix of experience and youth and if Fabregas did go home in the Summer things wouldn't be so bad after all.

Is Scott Parker the leader Arsenal lack?

 I believe there is a strong chance of Wenger signing the Englishman in the summer. After all West Ham are well and truly in a relegation battle and however much Parker loves West Ham I'm sure he'd rather play in the Premiership. Parker would also be available for under £10 million, which could also tempt Wenger into a deal for the midfield player. Signing Parker would also add to the English players at Arsenal, of which there are now more and more each season. Walcott and Wilshere are both regulars, and Kieran Gibbs and Henry Lansbury are both future England players. Throw into the mix Scott Parker and nobody could complain that Arsenal don't have English players anymore.
