WHY FRENCHMAN SHOULD BE GIVEN A

At 30, the son of Peter Schmeichel has been at his peak this season, despite Leicester’s struggles. Still in the Champions League with him as the last line of defence.

He has emerged as a class central defender under the tutelage of Sean Dyche at Burnley. One year left on his contract.

Has been superb at left back for AS Monaco as they have progressed to the quarterfin­als of the Champions League. A gifted and strong defender.

Wenger could well be the man to bring the best out of the midfield star, who has a strained relationsh­ip with his Everton boss Ronald Koeman. A class act.

The Lyon striker (right) is highly rated in France and a proven goalscorer. Wenger will have to fight for his signature, but he would be the perfect replacemen­t if Alexis Sanchez leaves. Brilliant on his day – but prone to the occasional “hands like feet moment”. The Colombian keeper wants regular football to keep his place in his national team. He has failed to add the defensive steel for which Wenger was hoping. A move back to Spain is the best option.

Almost left the club in January, but the move to Crystal Palace fell through. It could well be revived in the summer.

Arguably the best home-grown talent since Liam Brady, but injuries have blighted his career. May be better to get a fresh start, although Wenger would love him to stay.
