According to surprise reports from the Sun, Manchester United are planning to lure away Mesut Ozil from fierce rivals Arsenal.

It goes without saying that Mesut Ozil has been an integral player for Arsenal since joining the club from Real Madrid during the summer of 2013 for a club record fee of around £42.5 million and the club faithful most certainly want to see the German maestro continue his stay at the Emirates for as long as possible.

The club hierarchy also seem to feel the same and with Ozil entering the final year of his contract next season, the Gunners are desperately trying to tie down the attacking midfielder to an extension as soon as possible.

According to reports from Italian outlet Sport Media Set, Serie A duo Napoli and AC Milan are both keen on securing the services of Arsenal attacker Olivier Giroud.

Giroud enjoyed a fine campaign on a personal level last season, scoring 24 goals in 53 appearances in all competitions and he then went on to play a starring role for the French national team during the European Championships.

However, Giroud was handed an extended break by manager Arsene Wenger this summer due to his extended participation with France and the striker has unfortunately struggled to win his place back in the side due to the wonderful form shown by Alexis Sanchez in an attacking position.

As quoted by the Daily Express, Arsenal legend Ian Wright has gone on to state that he has been left unimpressed by Alex Iwobi’s performance against Tottenham Hotspur during the weekend.

Arsenal played out a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday and although the result was probably a fair one given the nature of the game, Gunners’ fans were certainly left a bit disappointed that their side were unable to claim all three points from the encounter.

In truth, many of the Arsenal players were not at their best during the clash and Alex Iwobi in particular was a cause for much frustration from the fans after he failed to make much of an impact throughout his 70 minutes on the pitch.

Speaking to the Arsenal Player, superstar Alexis Sanchez has stated his belief that the Gunners will be very successful this season.

Arsenal have boasted one of the strongest squads in the Premier League over the past few seasons so but due to one reason or another, the Gunners always seem to fall short in their pursuit of the title in recent years.

Things are going well for Arsenal at the moment and there is a strong belief that the Gunners might just be able to end their long drought in the Premier League due to the fact that the current squad overall looks very balanced in every area of the pitch.

Speaking to Football Fanzone, former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy has bafflingly slammed Arsenal star Mesut Ozil.

Mesut Ozil may have struggled initially to adapt to life in the physical nature of the Premier League after joining Arsenal from Real Madrid during the summer of 2013 for a club record fee of around £42.5 million but there is no doubting the fact that the German superstar is arguably one of the best players in the English top flight at the moment.

Ozil has been in imperious form over the past few seasons for Arsenal and the 28-year-old has arguably been at his best during the current campaign, scoring 7 goals as well as providing 4 assists in all competitions so far this season.
