With Wengers tendency to delve into the French market and pick out an unknown gem Stéphane Ruffier is a very viable option. At only 26 is still relatively young in goalkeeper terms and potentially he could have another 8-10 years between the sticks. During his time at Monaco, Ruffier was the captain and if there is one thing Arsenal need it is leaders. Especially in goal to provide confidence and assurance to the back four in front of him. After Monaco's relegation to Ligue 2 Ruffier rejected an offer from Manchester City due concerns over game time. He now has had two successive ever present seasons as part of Saint-‰tienne and is ready for a new challenge.
