Incredible Stats Prove Arsenal are Better Off without Midfielder

Manchester United are running the rule to sign Southampton star Morgan Schneiderlin and it will be a top quality addition.
Arsenal were also interested in securing the French international but soon their interest in the midfielder cooled down and United are set to complete his capture.
Gunners lacked a quality defensive midfielder and hence were linked with Morgan. However, since the turn of year another Les Bleus star Coquelin stepped up and quickly became one of PL’s best holding midfield stars.
Coquelin deservedly earned his starting place and put in quality performances week in week out for the Gunners. In his presence, Arsenal do not need another DM for first team, hence they are right it ignore Schneiderlin.
It will be fair to say that Schneiderlin is more creative in attack than Francis but Gunners do not lack creativity as for that role Arsenal have top players in Ramsey and Wilshere.
The incredible defensive stats provided below prove that Coquelin has been better than both Southampton’s holding midfielders Schneiderlin and Wanyama.
