Benjamin Pavard is another 22-year old defender who plays as a center back for VfB Stuttgart. The young Frenchman is also well experienced like Klostermann. Pavard played every single minute in the Bundesliga for Stuttgart last season.

Pavard has mentioned that he would like to join the Gunners, according to Calcio Insider, favoring Arsenal over Borussia Dortmund, who will be eligible to play UEFA Champions League football next season, but Arsenal would have to part with a little over £50 million to bring the young French defender to North London.

Pavard will be a good young defender for Arsenal to buy, but his price tag is a bit too much to make a quick-fire move for him. Arsenal might have to sell a defender on before making a move for Pavard. Mustafi might be the likely collateral damage.
