Plenty of Arsenal fans have called for the club to move for Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi should Lucas Torreira leave the Emirates in January.
Torreira has reportedly become unsettled under Unai Emery and is looking to leave north London in the new year.
The 23-year-old has only made nine appearances this season and has been deployed in a further forward midfield role when selected.
Arsenal fan page @LTArsenal asked their followers who they’d like to replace Torreira following recent rumours.
Suggestions for Granit Xhaka, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s possible replacements were also asked, but it was Ndidi for Torreira that was popular amongst many supporters.

Read Arsenal verdict
Ndidi is just 22 years of age but is already approaching 100 Premier League appearances for the Foxes.
He’s gone from strength to strength under the guidance of Brendan Rodgers, helping Leicester to second in the table after 12 games.
It looks extremely unlikely that he would swap the King Power for the Emirates, and right now, nobody could blame him.
However, if the Gunners could somehow persuade the Nigerian to make the move to north London, it would be an excellent piece of business.
