#2 Kostas Manolas
Kostas Manolas has developed into one of the finest defenders since joining AS Roma in 2014 from Greek side Olympiacos, making 192 appearances for the capital club so far, including their impressive Champions League run last season, where they reached the semi-finals before being bundled out by Liverpool.
The Greek defensive maestro has been a mainstay at the heart of Roma's defence, with assured performances despite their shaky start to the season.
Manolas is at the peak of his career, and could lift the Arsenal defence, as his pace and strength could be very vital in stopping counter attacks.
Kostas has been linked with a move to Manchester United and PSG this January transfer window, and Arsenal should act fast if they are to sign the defender.
