The full-backs in particular have been an area of concern for the Gunners, with players such as Thomas Vermaelen and Mathieu Flamini having to fill in during times of crises.
When everyone is fighting fit however, the flanks now appear to be one of Arsenal’s strongest areas. Wenger has a plethora of options to choose from at right-back in particular, so below we’ve ranked his options from worst to best:
5) Gabriel Paulista
Perhaps a little harsh to put him last seeing as he is yet to play a game, but he is, after all, totally unproven in the Premier League.
Bought primarily as a centre-back, his versatility was no doubt an attractive prospect for Wenger.
The Brazilian could turn out to be a superb full-back, but for the moment judgement has to be reserved.
