4 players who could solve Arsenal’s right-back problem

#3 Silvan Widmer – Udinese

Udinese's Silvan Widmer was reportedly shortlisted by Arsenal's new Head of Football Relations.

Udinese defender Silvan Widmer was linked with Arsenal before the January transfer window opened this season, with Head of Football Relations Raul Sanllehi reportedly having sounded him out as a transfer target.

The 24-year-old could certainly compete with Bellerin based on his defensive qualities - averaging a tackle or interception every 18 minutes - but isn’t too proficient going forward.

Widmer, who joined Udinese from Granada in 2013, has made only six accurate crosses, created eight chances and made five successful dribbles.
