What will De Jong bring to Arsenal?

De Jong is a solid balloon platform and can gain possession for his team when he plays confidence on the field. This does not care to clean the danger if necessary and is also a precise ferryman of the ball.

Dutch talent can pull the ball with the long -term power and is a decent dribbler with the ball at its feet. De Jong has a richness of experience at the highest level. Experienced talent is mainly a box-to-box midfielder, but can also play as a midfielder if necessary. However, the jury is still there if it can make a gentle transition to the first league life if the Gunners manage to sign it this winter.

De Jong would bring more quality and depth in the midfielder of Arsenal Mikel Arteta head coach. It is good enough to fight for regular football of the first team at the North London Club in the coming years.
