#3 Harry Maguire (Leicester City)

Leicester's best defender
Leicester's best defender

The World Cup hero was heavily linked to move away from Leicester City after his heroics in Russia. However, Harry Maguire just penned a new five-year contract with Leicester, keeping him at the club until 2023. This means the Gunners have to go all out for the England international, i.e a fee close to what Liverpool paid for Virgil Van Dijk to Southampton.

He was linked to Arsenal during the last summer and many fans including their legend Paul Merson didn't think he was worth the money. However, his recent performances for the Foxes has proved otherwise and hence Leicester made the right move of giving him a new contract so that even if he leaves they will get a huge amount of money.

Maguire is still 25 years old and could prove to be the missing piece that the Gunners have been looking for. Other than money, the Gunners are going to face heavy competition from rivals Machester United although they were turned down my Maguire during the recent January transfer window.
