Arsenal Transfers: 10 Right-Backs To Replace Bacary Sagna

3. Christian Maggio

Club: Napoli Nationality: Italian Christian Maggio is the definition of €˜a flying full back€™. Deployed in Napoli€™s 3-4-2-1 formation, Maggio plays the pivotal role of wing back, and the position brings with it many demands, with the player having to be able to attack and defend. But Maggio has made this role his own, he is equally skilled at bombing forward as he is at defending, and the Italian international would suit Arsenal€™s flowing, attacking style. The Gunners haven€™t had an attacking threat from full back since the departure of Ashley Cole, could Maggio finally be the answer? Likelihood of moving: 6/10 http://youtu.be/P5Z9xfOGN9Y
