3. Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli)

Another who plies his trade in the centre of defence first and foremost, Koulibaly would not only be adept in providing cover there in the face of Mertesacker’s injury and Gabriel’s tendency to make key errors, but his versatility also allows him to occupy the right-back slot vacated by Debuchy.

Therefore, he would effective back-up in the right-back area, besides being a solid option to help Bellerin and Jenkinson keep their defensive game sharp, and his physicality, strong reading of the game, tackling and eye for a pass would render him a defensive plus for Arsene Wenger, compared to the over-attacking emphasis of Mathieu Debuchy. He is however a £38million target for London rivals Chelsea, so Arsenal would be in for a challenge bringing the Senegalese through the door.
