This is exactly why midfield was a priority and spending £50m on a CB as a priority is a disgrace.
At the moment it's Xhaka - Partey in a pivot with Lokonga and El Neny/Torreira in reserve.
Both that starting pivot & depth needs upgrading.
Hopefully White is brilliant, but I'd much rather have Gabriel/Holding/Saliba at CB and then Bissouma as cover than rely on Partey to get, and stay for all season. Thankfully, if it goes wrong Arteta and Edu will be the ones to front up.
