Could Kallstrom hold the key?published at 19:15 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2014
Arsenal
BBC World Service's Steve Crossman reports: In Kim Kallstrom, Arsenal are getting a player I wish had left Lyon for the Premier League nearly four years ago.
In April 2010 his Champions League season ended at the semi-final stage after defeat to Bayern Munich.
Along with Miralem Pjanic, who went on to star for AS Roma, he had been an important figure in the success of a Lyon side which had earlier ousted Manuel Pellegrini's Real Madrid over two legs.
He's mobile, he can play anywhere across the midfield and he takes a mean free kick.
I'd expect him to slot effortlessly into the Arsenal side but at 31, his best years are clearly behind him.
