Arsenal are in desperate need for reinforcements in the back. They posses a very good front three in Lacazzete, Aubameyang and Pepe. But what good will their goals do if Arsenal concede more than often than they score. With the transfer season nearing its end Arsenal will have to add to more than just Kieran Tierny. Real Sociedad’s Diego Llorente would be an excellent place to star.

Llorente is an excellent passer and is very good in the air; a trait that Arsenal will greatly appreciate. The Spanish defender can also play as a defensive midfielder providing Arsenal with versatility. His release clause of €50 million could put off the North London side though, who may not be willing to splurge on a defender. However, with Real Sociedad ready to listen to offers, Llorente is not a bad option to keep in hand.
