Replacement Arsenal could sign if Ozil seals Manchester United deal
While Sanchez’s move to Manchester City has looked on the cards for some time, it is only in the last few days that speculation over Ozil’s future has seen him so strongly linked with a controversial move to Old Trafford.
Ozil has not been heavily involved in Arsenal’s season so far due to a combination of injury problems and a total lack of impact when he’s been on the pitch, but at various points in the summer it looked like he could be close to finally signing a new contract. That hasn’t materialised, however, and the Germany international is now due to be a free agent at the end of the season, which will set alarm bells ringing at the Emirates Stadium.
Number one on own list of his likely replacement is
1. Julian Draxler
One name bound to pop into Wenger’s head straight away is Julian Draxler, who has been linked with Arsenal many times in the past. The Paris Saint-Germain attacker’s future is in some doubt at the moment after the summer signings of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, with his place in the first XI no longer assured . Draxler seems an ideal fit for Arsenal .Draxler, however, has his best years ahead of him and is widely thought to have been a Wenger favourite for some time, so should slot in nicely at the Emirate.
2. Nabil fekir
Alexandre Lacazette will know the 24-year-old well and surely be keen to link up with him once again, and he’s perhaps unlikely to be one of the more pricey names on the market. Lyon let Lacazette move to north London for just £52m, which arguably looked a bargain even before the transfer market spiralled out of control by the end of the summer, so there could be some hope of poaching another of their stars for a reasonable amount.
With five goals and three assist in eight ligue 1 games he is going to be a great asset.
