Arsenal transfer news
Arsenal could be about to make big changes to their first-team squad as they set their sights on new midfield signings to replace two stars that look like heading for the exit, with Mesut Ozil strongly linked with Juventus.
The Gunners will be disappointed to let some big names go, but they arguably come out looking stronger with these changes…
Out – Mesut Ozil
Possibly heading to Turin in a £29m deal, Mesut Ozil is being strongly linked with a move to Juve as his old team-mate Sami Khedira hopes to see him join him at the club.
In – Arturo Vidal
Although not in a swap deal, Arturo Vidal could be allowed to leave Juventus for Arsenal this summer if the club succeed in landing Ozil alongside Khedira in midfield, with the Chilean likely to cost around £21m.
Out – Santi Cazorla
Linked strongly with Atletico Madrid as a replacement for Barcelona new-boy Arda Turan, Santi Cazorla seems to be heading back to Spain after a superb three seasons at the Emirates Stadium.
In – Mario Gotze
A player who emerged as a target for both Arsenal and Manchester United this week, £30m Bayern Munich star Mario Gotze is unsettled at the Allianz Arena and would be the absolutely ideal replacement for attacking midfield players like Ozil and Cazorla.
Out – Joel Campbell
Unlikely to get a first-team chance next season, Joel Campbell has been linked with a long list of clubs this summer and will surely at least leave on loan before long.
In – Karim Benzema
An ambitious target, but there seems to be growing speculation that Arsenal are serious about signing Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema this summer, possibly on the cheap, with some reports saying £25m and some as low as £17.8m.
