Monday’s biggest Arsenal news and transfer rumour gossip.
Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil, 27, will be rewarded for his good form this season by being offered a new deal by the Gunners, the Daily Mirror reports.
The Germany World Cup winner’s deal has two years to run from the end of the season. But his form has been so impressive that the club want to keep him at the Emirates until at least 2019.
Manchester United are weighing up an enormous offer for Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez, while Real Madrid are also keen on the Chilean, according to Don Balon (via Goal).
Louis van Gaal is known to want a winger blessed with speed and creativity, with Sanchez ticking both boxes, but would need to fork out around £53 million to have any hope of landing him.
However, Chilean publication Ovacion have hinted that Alexis Sanchez is nowhere near being match fit.
Sanchez is currently away with the Chilean national team, but they fear that he is too fatigued to play against Uruguay on Tuesday.
Lionel Messi wants a staggering £600,000 a week to play in the Premier League, according to the Daily Star.
And the report claims that he would prefer to play for Arsenal over anybody else.
Arsenal are ready to step up their interest in Edinson Cavani, according to the Daily Express.
The PSG striker admitted he was unsure about returning to Paris after Friday’s terror attacks.
