Sign A Versatile Center Back
Arsenal’s defense is currently filled with some great players like Koscielny, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Monreal, Debuchy, Bellerin, Chambers and Paulista. But this defense has many weaknesses which can be easily exploited by any strong team and hence in order to tackle these problems Wenger should sign a versatile defender to pair with either Koscielny or Mertesacker. The weakness in Mertesacker is his speed, which makes him a real liability against fast paced-counter attacking teams. Although he has what it takes to win the aerial duels, decent standing tackles, brilliant reading and awareness on the pitch. While the problem with Laurent is he is a very error prone defender, who is very likely to get into trouble or commit a foul, otherwise he is a perfect defender. A versatile defender or to be more precise, a defender who can directly give competition to Arsenal’s first choice players is what the Gunners need in order to compete with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City.
