Arsenal told why £36m Serie A star is the best fix

The failure of the North London outfit Arsenal to secure qualification to the Champions League next season with a top-four finish has been attributed to the poor defence of the team.

The record shows that the Gunners team conceded a total of 51 goals this season which is the most amongst the top six teams in the league.

While the Gunners team can boast of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the attack as they both helped the club to deliver 70 goals in total which means the major point of attention is the defence.

However, Arsenal have been linked with a move for Kostas Manolas for quite some time and it is suggested that they could make a bid for the star player to help correct the leaky defence.

Kostas Manolas is known to have got a big and strong mentality which can help the Arsenal team while his aggressive nature would be an addition to him in the English Premier League as he would easily command respect from attackers.

The Greek international has proved in the past to be a leader in the past and will be able to deliver a good account of the Arsenal defence if given the opportunity.
