Arsenal are
finally looking to make the Transfer Deadline Day interesting, as the
Gunners are thought to be involved in advanced talks with Real Madrid to sign attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil, reports Sky Sport. Madrid have signed Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur for a world record fee £85.3m and are willing to hear offers for the German international. It has been a hugely frustrating summer for the Gunners,
having failed to land any major names despite being linked with so many
top international stars like Gonzalo Higuain and Luis Suarez. However,
with reported £70 million burning hole in the pocket, Wenger is looking
to part with a large chunk of it for the German creative midfielder. Having singed only Yaya Sanogo and Mathieu Flamini for
free, Wenger again addressed the issue of getting in extra bodies after
their 1-0 victory over Spurs yesterday, as the Gunners look to break
their own transfer record, with a £42.5 million deal in the 11th hour of
the transfer window. The 24-year-old has played over a 100 games for Real Madrid since he moved to Bernabeu in 2010 from Werder Bremen.
The arrival of Bale and Isco at the club means, the talented German
will drop down the pecking orders at the club, and though he reiterated
last week that he wants to stay in Spain, he might be forced out. Arsenal have also been linked with a move for Madrid stars
Angel di Maria and Karim Benzema, though it is highly unlikely that the
Los Blancos will part with both of them.
Have your say below about the possibility of the deal…
