Unai Emery will be short of options in midfield next term as Aaron Ramsey will join Juventus, and Mesut Ozil’s Gunner's future is in doubt as well.
The Belgian managed 34 appearances in the Serie A last season, netting 2 goals and providing 3 assists in the process.
According to Whoscored, Praet made 1.9 tackles per game on an average and registered an impressive pass completion rate of 87.3%.
The midfielder’s passing is strong, as shown by the aforementioned stats, so he does look like an exciting option for Emery.
The 25-year-old's composure on the ball together with dynamism could prove to be advantageous for the north London outfit.
