Manolas could be the answer to Arsenal's struggles at the back

Manolas has a 89% pass completion rate in the Seria A this season, a high figure for a center back. Unai Emery needs calmness at the back so that he can implement the buildup from the back strategy well.

Manolas has been a stellar performer for a Roma side who have had a flattering season but Manolas is a player who can be the difference between winning a title and being a top-4 team if he plays for a stronger team. He is good in the air, has excellent passing abilities and would be a great prospect alongside fellow Greeks, Sokratis and Mavropanos.

The good thing for the Gunners is the current contract situation of Manolas. But the Gunners would have to fight off Juventus, who wiill also be keenly looking at the contract situation as they too have an ageing defence which Manolas can freshen up.
