Former Arsenal winger Robert Pires believes it is possible
for Arsenal to keep both Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil and also sign Kylian
Mbappe.
Wenger is reportedly keen on making a statement in this
summer’s transfer window by bringing in a marquee signing but he is being faced
by the challenge of keeping two of his best players.
Sanchez and Ozil are currently causing the French man a lot
of headaches by refusing to sign new contracts. Reports are claiming Sanchez
wants to leave the Emirates for Manchester City while Ozil is still keeping his
options open.
Arsenal want to keep the duo but are struggling to convince
them to sign new deals and Wenger is also looking to complete a big money move
for either Kylian Mbappe or Alexandre Lacazette this summer.
Pires has now backed the pursuit of both players, claiming
Arsenal can afford to bring them in and also offer Ozil and Sanchez big money
contracts.
Mbappe is a great player who has good potential,” he said at
the launch of Arsenal’s kit for the 2017/18 season.
“Of course he is very expensive but now in the europe
anything is possible. The most important thing is to keep Sanchez and Ozil and
if they buy Lacazette and Mbappe.
“Arsenal can do both – they can extend the contracts of
Sanchez and Ozil and why not buy two or three players?”
Should Arsenal be able to keep its star duo and Sign Mbappe
or Lacazette or even both as Pires has suggested, it will represent a shift in
the club’s transfer policy.
While it isn’t possible to do what pires has said, it will
take a lot of effort from the club to get the deals done. As a fan I am hoping
Pires is right at the end of the transfer window.
