In: Adil Rami (Valencia)
Regarded as one of the most solid and consistent defenders in La Liga, Adil Rami has been linked with both Arsenal and Manchester United on a number of occasions in the last few months, as the Frenchman is supposedly seeking a move to a bigger club to boost his chances of a place in France’s squad for next summer’s World Cup.
The 27-year-old is experienced and, being French, would slot in nicely at Arsenal and enjoy the chance to work under Arsene Wenger. He would cost around £10million, but looks a good potential signing and would add much-needed quality to the Gunners’ back line. They may edge United to his signature as they are more likely to offer regular first-team football. Ashley Williams of Swansea City has also been linked, but is likely to opt for a switch to Liverpool instead.
