#2 Sokratis Papastathopoulos (Borussia Dortmund)
The 29-year-old Greek national has been eyed by the Arsenal team. Since joining Borussia Dortmund in 2013, he has made 130 appearances and scored seven goals. At the time of his transfer to the Bundesliga club, Dortmund paid 9.5 million euros for him.
Now, the centre-back is coming close to the end of his contract and Arsenal is keen to get him this summer. According to various reports, Arsenal will have to pay 20 million euros for him. If the deal does go through, he is expected to be able to settle well into the club with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan also from Dortmund.
He had a pass accuracy of 87% and his average duels won stands at 58%. Those statistics are slightly better than that of Shkodran Mustafi who had a pass accuracy of 86% and won an average of 53% of his duels. The best thing about Sokratis is that he loves to defend and does not hesitate little when going in for challenges.
If Arsenal is able to get him, he will surely become a great addition to the team.
