2 defenders Arsenal should sign in January

Ricardo Rodriguez

Wolfsburg’s left back Ricardo Rodriguez has been highly regarded as one of the best in the world in recent seasons.

Arsenal have a strong back four and good cover in all positions, but their left back offering is the weakest area of their defence.

He is a quick and physical defender, exactly the style required to suit Wenger’s side. Rodriguez also has an eye for goal, as he is very capable of scoring free-kicks and long shots.

He has already kept six clean sheets in his 15 Bundesliga appearances this season. Despite only being 24-years-old, Rodriguez has also made 45 caps for his native Switzerland.
