Central Defenders
Laurent Koscielny – Keep – Possibly Arsenal’s most consistent performer last season and has built a fine partnership with German international Per Mertesacker.
Per Mertesacker – Keep – The other half of the Koscielny/Mertesacker defensive axis that was so impressive last season, returns to the club with increased confident as a World Cup winner.
Thomas Vermaelen – Sell – Hasn’t refound the form from his early days at the club and, if they can get an eight-figure fee from Manchester United, then Arsenal shouldn’t hesitate to sell.
Ignasi Miquel – Sell – Hasn’t kicked on after showing some early promised and struggled on loan at Leicester City. Worth cutting their losses.
Potential signing – Matija Nastasic – The classy Manchester City defender has emerged as a potential target after being marginalised by the Premier League champions.
