#4 Ferland Mendy
Olympique Lyonnais have arguably one of the best left-backs in Ligue 1. Ferland Mendy has been in sensational form this season, much to the delight of transfer gurus across Europe.
Barcelona Sporting Director Eric Abidal has earmarked him as an understudy to Jordi Alba, with a view of succeeding the Spaniard. Frenchman Mendy has been ever-present for Lyon playing 1927 minutes already.
The Senegalese born left-back has already bagged an impressive 2 goals and 2 assists across all competitions this season.
He was called up to the France squad by Didier Deschamps after incumbent and namesake Benjamin Mendy was ruled out injured. He completed a full 90 minutes on his debut and looks like a threat for Manchester City man Benjamin Mendy and Atletico Madrid's Lucas Hernandez position in the French National team.
Arsenal have been talked about as serious potential employers of Ferland Mendy. With Nacho Monreal already 32 and with Arsenal's longstanding relationship with the French transfer market, this move looks like a no-brainer.
Mendy's impressive performances from wing-back position against Man City even has Arsenal fans hoping for them sign the French star.
