Arsenal defensive frailties have been the topic of discussion, this summer.

With the injury to Per Mertesacker, that has sparked Arsene Wenger to delve into the transfer market for a defender.

With only two recognised centre-backs in Laurent Koscielny and Gabriel Paulista in the squad and the German defender set for a long injury layoff, this had lead to rumours linking the Gunners with West Brom and former Manchester United defender Jonny Evans and World Cup winner Shkodran Mustafi.

The French manager has already dipped his hand in the Bundesliga this window, snapping up former Borussia Mönchengladbach captain Granit Xhaka for £38.25million and with the talent on show in the centre-back department of the Bundesliga, there’s no reason why he couldn’t look to exploit the market again.

We look at the Bundesliga centre-back alternatives that Arsene Wenger should target ahead of their Premier League curtain raiser against Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
