Ake has looked good there but he's a centre back filling in a role for the team, that shouldn't be a long term solution.
Cancelo looks great going forward from there but time and time again fails to defend crosses coming in from the left wing. I could be wrong but I don't feel like he has the same difficulty when playing down the right. Against the best teams Cancelo and Zinny have been found out defensively IMO. Ake hasn't played enough really to say for sure how comfortable he truly is there either, if we are being sensible.
I guess the point is. Is 'good enough' the standards we keep now? That doesn't seem to be acceptable anywhere else on the pitch.
It all depends on if there is a worthwhile upgrade on what we already have available(someone who can bring what Cancelo can bring from the right). If not, then there's not much point bringing anyone in. If there is, then we will finally get to see what two natural side backs on either wing looks like, for Pep's City.
I'll be honest, I don't know half the names on that list, so I don't know what the answer to the above is. But asking the right questions is half of the puzzle.
I'm definitely not of the opinion that a top quality natural LB wouldn't improve us though.

You should give him a vote!I like Raum a lot
Is Guerreiro off the table now?
I don't watch German football but the people I know who do say that he's great, and I vaguely recall us being linked with him previously.
Up for sale this summer. Dortmund want 30 to 40 mil euros
Are they ready for the top level?Wijndal or Sergio Gomez

It will be very unlikely a world class Full back wants to join this team, it's not about money but almost all of them wants guarantee minute which is impossible for the squad ambition in all of competition so rotation is a must.
It will be insulting for most of them if they relegated to be just another player to be rotated and not always the main starting player.
