Per Mertesacker (Arsenal)
Per Mertesacker is the true leader in this Arsenal team – witness his chastising of Mesut Ozil for not thanking the Gunners’ away fans after their defeat to Napoli in the UEFA Champions League.
The German is both literally and figuratively a giant in the Gunners’ defence, and his organisation of the back four, and sound sense of positioning makes him a colossus for opposition attackers to get past.
