Raphael Varane

Despite boasting four household international names in their back line and one of the brightest young defenders in world football, Arsenal’s defence has still looked pretty vulnerable and the need for a quality central-defender is clear.
With Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker now in the twilight years of their career, Arsenal’s preference would be to land a younger defender who can solidify the Gunners ranks for the next decade- and Raphael Varane is definitely that man.
Despite being highly-rated, he still struggles for opportunities at Real Madrid as he competes for a starting spot with Pepe and Sergio Ramos, which gives clubs like Arsenal a boost. However, the Gunners would face fierce competition for his signature.
