Riccardo Calafiori would be a superb addition

Calafiori is versatile enough to operate as the central defender as well as a left-back. He will be a long-term prospect for the Gunners and he could develop into a world-class performer for them. The defender certainly has the attributes to develop into a reliable performer in the Premier League and he could justify the £47 million investment in the coming seasons.

Chelsea and Real Madrid have been linked with a move for the player as well and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in the coming weeks. Chelsea need to bring in a quality central defender, especially after the departure of Thiago Silva. The 22-year-old certainly fits the profile and he would be a quality acquisition. On the other hand, Real Madrid need defensive depth as well. They struggled defensively last season because of injury problems at the back and adding another quality central defender would be a wise decision.
