Along with the wings and the central defense, another position that needs improvement is wing-back with the position being a crucial part of Emery’s style of football. With Stephan Lichstiener past his prime, Ainsley Maitland-Niles playing out of position and Sead Kolasinac being highly inconsistent, there is a need of wing back to provide cover for the injured Hector Bellerin.

According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain star Thomas Meunier is touted to be the answer to the Gunners’ problem. 27-year-old Meunier is an attack-minded wingback and carries versatility to play on either flank making him perfectly suited for Unai Emery’s system. Moreover, the Belgian international has contributed to 12 goals this season, scoring 5. Additionally, the pair share a strong relationship due to their time together at Paris Saint-Germain.

Meunier has fallen out of favour at PSG, playing second fiddle to the Brazilian Dani Alves. With just a year left on his contract, he could prove to be a suitable and low-cost option for the North Londoners.
