As someone who laments the fading memory of bygone, halcyon days of fullbacks tackling wingers a couple of feet inside the line, then watch said winger be helped from the stand and back onto the pitch by a clutch of people including an old dear with bobble hat, scarf and potty mouth administering her smelling salts.

That we are more accustomed to the opposite being the reality having bourn witness to Hector Bellerin being bounced off Jack Grealish like a pinball that could only have been made more embarrassing if the Villa man had halted his run to do a few keepy uppies with the Spaniard before back heeling him straight into a seat sat bolt upright.

Some high profile right backs have been bandied about as possible transfer targets primarily because of their good technical ability and forward prowess which looks great when dominating possession.

However, it's the degree of effectiveness, diligence and combativeness on offer when we don't have the ball for sustained periods which tip the scales for me.

To that end either Max Arrons or Emerson Royal are my choice and alternative option in seeking to emulate what we gain on the left from Keiran Tierney and in replicating that effect, give the team the crucial factor of great balance.

Arsenal have entered the race to sign Norwich full-back Max Aarons - also linked with Bayern Munich - with the Gunners keen to land a replacement for expected departure Hector Bellerin. (Express)

Now that it is internationally established that Luke Shaw is a quality left-back of some repute, it's somewhat understandable that the Devil's horde of reprobates have had a bit of a lightbulb switched on moment in figuring out that having someone who can create the same effect from the right hand side would not only add good balance to their team but also lend itself to forming a solid platform from which to not only defend effectively but in an instant launch the potent counter attacks that are not arriving in the abundance hoped for from Wan-Bissaka.

Yes, admittedly, fear is rising of once again finding ourselves having been gazumped Buendia style, and fuelled further by unsubstantiated rumours of Utd casting an envious and insatiable eye towards East Anglia that could spark a bidding war that we wouldn't be favoured to win.

With that in mind and not having forgotten that my own personal preferences for the permanent role at the Emirates ahead of the Norwich man were either Emerson Royal or Achraf Hakimi. The last alternative that I'm prepared to nail my colours to the mast for is Sergio Dest from Barcelona.

I truly can't be arsed listing all his attributes etc, in a Pro's and Con's fashion suffice to say that they are similar enough to the aforementioned as to warrant justified consideration as an alternative option, along with the irony abound if Barca's recruitment of Emerson Royal ahead of us was to lead to us then acquiring the young American (one for you Starmandb) who in turn proved to be the better fit for this youthful new Arsenal team.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has a wish list of English defenders that includes Brighton's Tariq Lamptey, 21, Leicester City's James Justin, 23, and Norwich's 21-year-old Max Aarons. (Fichajes - in Spanish)

Norwich right-back Max Aarons is a target for United and Arsenal, while Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are also monitoring the 20-year-old Englishman. (Sun)

We need someone next to White who is good in the air. The reason we're good with Tomiyasu is that he's great defensively. We need another defensive RB. I think that would help White but also allow the LB to get forward. Would mean Tavares is fine as back up LB.
