Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal):
The only Premier League player to make the list, Koscielny, is easily the best defender in England at the moment. The French international was integral to his country’s run in the EURO16 recently and he has had an equally impressive year at the Emirates. A senior member in the squad at the moment, Koscielny, is one of the first players on the team sheet for Wenger at the Emirates.
He helps organize the defense for his side at the back while also providing an ariel threat in the final third if needed. He is a player not many strikers would like to face, making him one of the best in his position.
