Before Arsenal’s the trip to Vicarage Road, where he is expected to return from the becnh to the starting eleven against Watford, Arsene Wenger has not been able to escape questions from journalists in press conferences when asked about the clubs transfer market strategy with regards to stars such as Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, with their contracts expiring in June 2018 and no sight of renewal for either of them. “In our situation, we have thought about every possible solution”, as he explained, “it is possible that we will give them away in January”.

Adding to talk about the German who is being closely followed by Inter, the Gunners manager added; “I hope the situation can be changed, we are not close to announcing anything at this time (about a renewal).

If Inter are able to get the signing of the in-demand German star, it would surely help with their dilemma for finding a natural trequartista rather than trying to adapt a current squad player which will take time, time Inter do not have if they want Champions League Football again.
