Dortmund forward Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang would be a good signing to Arsene Wenger’s team to fill the boots of Alexis Sanchez’s, Tony Gale has suggested. Arsenal are still uncertain about the future of the Chilean at The Emirates Stadium given he has just less than six months left on his current Arsenal contract. The gunners could offload the Chilean in a reduced-price deal in the summer transfer window, or the forward could depart for nothing at the end of the campaign. Sanchez, 29, netted 24 goals in 38 matches in the English Premier League last season to end the campaign as the Gunners top goal-scorer in the Premier League last season. Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, 28, has been frequently linked with a transfer to England over the past few years but a … [Read more...]

Arsenal may have gotten a massive boost as midfielder Mesut Ozil has spoken of the side amid severe uncertainty over his playing future at the North London club. The German international attacking midfielder has only six months left on his Arsenal deal, and as things stand the playmaker will be free to leave for nothing in the summer. While Arsenal will hope that he decides to sign a fresh contract before summer, the worry will only keep growing, the longer the wait lingers that they’ll lose the creative midfielder for free when the season ends. However, while this could mean anything, the German has spoken well of what his spell at the North London club has meant to him, which could possibly be understood as a good assessment of where he wants to spend his … [Read more...]

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted claims that Konstantinos Mavropanos is ready to put pen to paper for Arsenal to emerge as their first winter signing. The 20-year-old Greek currently plays for PAS Giannina in his country, playing 20 matches for the senior team while he’s also played twice for Greece Under 21s. Although, he doesn’t have so much experience, especially at the highest level, and so this would look like a possible signing for the future, with Arsene Wenger hoping to sign him and send him out on loan. It’s thought that it will take about £2.2million for the Gunners to sign the youngster, with German side Werder Bremen believed as a possible destination for Mavropanos for the remainder of the campaign. The defence is a department for … [Read more...]

The French boss is still believed to be trying to lure the trio of Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere, and … [Read more...]
