1) Serge Aurier (Toulouse)
One of the outstanding young defenders in Europe at the moment, Toulouse starlet Serge Aurier appears to be close to making a summer switch to Arsenal. The 21-year-old Ivory Coast international was praised greatly by his international colleague Didier Drogba for his role in their 2-1 World Cup win over Japan, when his two assists helped the African nation come from behind to pick up all three points. With six goals and six assists in Ligue 1 this season, Aurier looks a real threat going forward as well as being solid at the back, and if Wenger can solve Arsenal’s right-back problem early this summer with this top class signing, it will surely be the start of a successful transfer window for the club.
