Way too many Nigeria names in that squad

Yes and they are even more in our academy system

Arsenal need to cover their defensive woes in order to win major trophies. I am sure that if Unai Emery is given the right players, he willl once again make Arsenal one of the best teams in Europe. They need a right-back and atleast two central defenders. What do you guys have to say about it?
