Arsenal plan on signing thirty two million pound trio
According to reports, Arsenal are looking to sign Udinese goal keeper, Samir Handanovic. Arsene Wenger has made a series of enquires about the player only indicating that he might want to sign the player. The Slovenian goal keeper had been in impressive form throughout the World Cup finals. Arsenal have joined in the race to sign the player with Juventus. The twenty six year old is estimated to cost both teams a minimum of ten million Euros.
Arsene Wenger has also been strongly pursuing Fulham shot stopper, Mark Schwarzer, according to speculation though, Wenger feels that the price tag of four million pounds is a little too high for the player. Mark Schwarzer will be thrity eight years old by October hence, he isn’t a long term solution for the Gunners. This has made Arsene Wenger focus his interest towards Handanovic. Buffon has gone ahead and said that the Slovenian is one of the best goal keepers in the world.
German international, Mertesacker is considering his future at Werder Bremen. This has come as good news to Arsene Wenger who has been a long term admirer of the twenty five year old. The German centre back was part of the German national team at the 2010 FIFA World Cup and has had a total of sixty nine appearances for the national team.
According to Sport.co.uk, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is looking to land at least two centre halves this summer, having completed the signing of FC Lorient’s French centre-back Laurent Koscielny last week.
Ozil might also be on his way to the Emirates at the start of the next season, Werder Bremen who are his current employers have said, “We’re keen to hold on to Mesut for a couple more seasons and we want him to sign a new deal with us. However, if that turns out to be impossible, we might have to look at other solutions.”
A larger number of teams have been linked with trying to sign the player, but at the current moment, Arsenal seem to be the favorites to sign the player.
The signing of these three players is still quite possible considering the amount of time that is left in the transfer window. Ozil would be the favorite player for Wenger to land but both, Handonovic and Mertesacker would prove useful at the Emirtaes.
According to caught offside, ‘Samir Handanovic may be a useful addition to the Emirates squad but could he really be considered a first choice starter at the Emirates? The Slovenian was decent at the World Cup and has been a pretty good success at Udinese but a jump from a relegation threatened Serie A club to a top four Premier League side would be a big one, although some reports suggest a deal is close to completion on his move to the north London side.’
‘Per Mertesacker is a player Arsene Wenger would dearly love to sign and again, like Ozil, he seems unsure of whether his future is at Werder Bremen. The towering defender is vastly experienced for a 25 year old and could be just the type of centre back that the Gunners boss could look to build his defence around.’
