Arsenal would have already known how tough life after Aaron Ramsey would be, however, their shocking performance in the Europa League final only further highlighted how missed he will be.

The Wales international has been the club's best player by a country mile over the last 12 months and it is still infuriating that the club have decided to let him join Juventus this summer for absolutely nothing!

Unai Emery will have a huge task on his hands in trying to find a player that will be able to replace him and make him a distant memory - a job that nobody will envy as it is going to be that difficult to achieve.

However, the Gunners may have been watching one man that could be the perfect candidate in making Ramsey's departure a little easier to swallow.

According to a report by South American publication TNT Sports, Arsenal have sent scouts to watch three men in action: Exequiel Palacios of River Plate and Nahitan Nández and Emanuel Reynoso of Boca Juniors.

And, it is Nández that you would have to feel would be best suited to fill the void that Ramsey will leave in the middle of the field.

As a Uruguay international, he will have already formed a partnership of some sort with Lucas Torreira in the middle of the field which could, therefore, benefit Arsenal as well whilst he has all the qualities of doing everything that the Welshman did at the Emirates Stadium.

The 23-year-old is a box-to-box type of player that would certainly provide the Gunners with some additional tenacity in the middle of the park. He makes lung-busting runs in the penalty box to provide his team-mates with options, whilst he is equally adept at playing out on the right-hand side.

He can dictate the tempo of the game whilst in possession, whilst he can press very quickly to try and win the ball back from their opponents, allowing him to work in tandem with Torreira.

Having both Uruguayans in the middle of the park, Emery's Arsenal side would be instantly stronger in front of the defence, whilst they would also carry the same sort of attacking threat that the tireless Ramsey once offered them as well.

Arsenal fans, do you think Nández is the perfect candidate to replace Ramsey this summer? Let us know your thoughts by sharing them with us below!
