After moving to AS Monaco from Atletico Mineiro, Jemerson has made a name for himself as one of the best centre backs in Ligue 1. After making just four appearances in his first season, the Brazilian played a key role for Monaco in the 2016/17 season where he helped his team win the Ligue 1 and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Jemerson is 26 years old, and with Monaco battling relegation this season, he might be interested in moving to bigger and better things. Arsenal should definitely target the Brazilian and with Monaco currently struggling, they might be willing to sell him.

The 6 ft tall defender is very strong, a good header of the ball, can intercept well and is good at picking out a pass. In a year where Monaco have been nowhere near their best, Jemerson has still managed to maintain a pass success rate of 87.9% this season.
