Arsenal missed out on bringing down a senior outfield player all summer, but their manager, Arsene Wenger has now made tying down whom he already has at his disposal to long-term contracts his priority, with Mesut Ozil topping his check-list.

The German playmaker smashed club transfer record when he completed his £42.5million switch and the Mirror now claims that he looks set to break another record as the Gunners are believed to table a contract that would make him the best paid Arsenal player ever.

Arsenal, thanks to the ineptness of their strikers as well as Mike Dean, are now on the lookout for a magic to kick-start their campaign, but recent reports emanating from Turkish media outlet Radyospor could have an adverse effect on their ambitions.

Mesut Ozil has lately been linked with a move to Fenerbahce and his agent has now talked up the possibility of his client abandoning the Arsenal ship in favour of a move to the long-term pursuers. Erkut Sogut claimed that the 26-year-old would prefer to stay, but added that the decision would be in the hands of Arsene Wenger when the Turkish giants come knocking in the summer.

Arsene Wenger was harshly slammed for not signing the players that he was never interested in thanks to the way in which media manipulated the minds of the readers and the unreliable Spanish news outlet in Fichajes now attempt to seed the idea of Arsene Wenger asking the board to wrap up the signing of Isco Alarcon from Real Madrid.

Arsenal strikers have managed to score only three goals in five games, despite boasting the most number of chances by a team; with their chance conversion rate being the worst only to that of Liverpool amongst Premier League teams.

Arsenal are readying a surprising £14million winter bid for the highly-rated midfielder in Youri Tielemans as an attempt to back Francis Coquelin up, according to reports from Italian media outlet Calciomercatoweb.

Gunners faithfuls were furious with Arsene Wenger over his decision to not buy a senior outfield player in the summer, even though he brought in several teenagers with massive potential.

However, he may be forgiven for breaking the bank for the 17-year-old as he has already notched up 92 appearances for Champions League regulars in Anderlecht.

Ian Wright spent two seasons under Arsene Wenger before being involved in a cross-city move to Upton Park, but he achieved something fantastic in his last season at the Highbury becoming the then leading goalscorer in the history of the club.

The 64-year-old manager has managed to earn a lot of critics thanks to his unique managerial methods and the former Arsenal striker is one of the noteworthy faces in what fans call the WOB. The Englishman, who currently works as a pundit with BT Sport, recently launched an attack on the Gunners manager for delaying the process of conversion of Theo Walcott into a striker by five years.
