da aviator aposta: Arsenal’s defensive woes were evident during the closing stages of last season.
da pixbet: Shkodran Mustafi suffered plenty of online criticism from fans after he was caught out of position numerous times.
The jury is still out on the centre-back, but due to the long-term injury absence of Laurent Koscielny, the defence is an area that needs addressing.
New manager Unai Emery has already recruited right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free transfer from Juventus.

Now, reports have emerged suggesting that Chelsea defender David Luiz is back on the club’s radar.
Last Thursday, a report from Le10sport claimed that the Gunners have had an £18m bid rejected by their Premier League rivals.
It would not be a huge surprise if Luiz leaves Stamford Bridge this summer, though, after falling down the pecking order under manager Antonio Conte.
The Brazilian has plenty of experience and has adopted a winning mentality over the years having earned four league titles so far in his career.
However, there are still question marks over his erratic decision-making on the pitch, plus the fact that he is 31 years old.
If Emery wants to shape a team for the future, then recruiting younger players should be a priority.
On the other hand, there is no denying that Luiz has the quality and ability to be a solid figure that can also play out from the back.
With all of this in mind, should Arsenal recruit the Brazilian?
