5 players PSG could sign in January

Writer's note: Actually, he did play at left-back quite a few times. In Valverde's first season, he played there quite a few times. Also played there when he was in the youth team.

#4 Aymeric Laporte

The reason why Aymeric Laporte has been mentioned here is not only because of his outstanding talent as a defender, but also his versatility that allows him to play left-back. While PSG’s central defense is thin, Aymeric Laporte would add much needed steel to it while also providing healthy competition against Layvin Kurzawa.

The French centre-back is a very good outlet on the attack but is often caught out defensively and has difficulties against tricky wingers that like to cut inside. While Laporte might not have the attacking forte of his compatriot, he does provide better cover from the left-flank when compared to his French counterpart.

Also, the French connection will also help Laporte settle down quickly in France. The only two problems with this move is that Laporte is cup tied with Athletic Club and that the Basque club won’t want him to go. And we all know how hard it is to get a player off Athletic’s hands when they are not willing.

And if you don’t, then just Manchester United.
