Arsenal to scout Turkish international and it is not Cengiz Under

There has been speculation over the last couple of days linking Arsenal with Roma ace Cengiz Under which we covered here, however, he is not the only Turkish international that we are interested in.

According to reports in Turkey, we will be sending scouts to monitor Dorukhan Toköz when he faces off against Iceland in the 2020 Euro qualifiers Tuesday evening.

AC Milan and Napoli will also be sending scouts to monitor the 23-year-old who will reportedly cost €25 Million.

Toköz, who currently plies his trade with Turkish giants Besiktas had a stellar game against the French and basically helped win the battle in midfield against the World Champions.

It is certainly convenient for our scouts that we are interested in two Turkish internationals and it has to be assumed that they will be casting their eyes over both Toköz and Under and while they play in different positions they are positions that we need strengthening, central midfield and on the wing.

Toköz has only just broken through to the national team and his appearance against the French was just his third cap, he is a versatile sort and has been used as both a holding midfielder and an attacking central midfielder by his club.

It will be interesting to see if this particular piece of speculation gains momentum.

  1. After the being linked with every player on this planet and not one of them being mentioned by Ornstein yet I think we have to look further a field for new rumours…………how about Uranus ? 😆

  2. Martin with all due respect you continue to re write news, I appreciate your comments on this saying if you didn’t write this there wouldn’t be any posts, however, that’s a poor excuse. Imo it’s making the site less interesting

  3. All these BS rumours are driving me mental, you don’t know whether you’re coming or going! Don’t know who we’re realistically looking at.. all I know is, we’ve been linked with all & bleeding sundry, yet have peanuts to spend!! We may even end up signing nobody!!!

    1. Sister Sue…………..only rumours ny Ornsein are worth listening to, you might aswell read your tea leafs and get more sense !
      I read the crumbs of pasties………….people think we here in Cornwall are a bit backward with the technology like super fibre fast broadband, but we have super fast gossip it`s quicker believe me, I only have to tell the farmers wife down the road and it`s around Launceston in seconds !

    2. Sue I think Le Cog monster likes you, I have been watching him hit you a few times. Except this baby is taken and has offspring ?????

      1. Pat……..I love Sue`s effervescent personality and wicked sense of humour, anyway how`s my buns doing in the oven ? 😆

        1. Cooked, and getting ready to be delivered. Pat already decided where they will go, so I might have to hold him down for another quick fire rounds so that I can have my very own little gunner????. Except Pat can not do as he pleases because I will eat him raw❤️❤️❤️

  4. Probably more suited to The Australian League or maybe Sue !…….as I`ve heard he`s big down Under !………….boom boom !…………yes, I`m really scraping the barrel now ! 😆

    1. That was meant about Cengiz Under !…………………Wasn`t Dorukhan Tokoz a caharacter in Game of Thrones ?

  5. From reading my Pasty crumbs I can confirm that our new kits will be launched on 01/07/2019 .

        1. Thanks Sue, thanks Eddie, Thanks Le Cog Monster, thanks Gogo. I appreciate all of your support. Pat and I are truly great for your generous hearts.

          1. What names you got lined up, Pat ?…………..Mesut ?
            Sead ? Thierry ? Igors Stepanovs ? 😆

          2. Be thinking of you, Pat & going through the motions with you (pussssshhhhh, arggghhhhh!!! ?) I hope all goes well & when you’re up to it, you must send some photos to Admin, so we can all see your little beauties (& hope to God they’re both in Arsenal sleep suits ??) ❤

          3. Le con monster we are not there yet, I think one might be Patrick and the other Patricia, we will see. Sue I will definitely will be posting pictures.

  6. Well if we do spend over £20 million on a player, I hope we do better than OZIL £45mil, Xhaka £35mil and Mustafi £35mil. Alexis £32mil was the exception

    1. I think Lacazette £50m and Aubameyang £60 have been worth the money. On the others you listed I agree!

  7. Relax folks! I can see a few people getting a little stressed with all these rumours. Remember that 99% of these rumours are complete fabrication.

    I have noticed that many fans also seem to be a little disgruntled when it’s a cheap signing, or an unheard of player mentioned. Please remember that our budget isn’t great (unless we sell), and that we have no CL football either. Most importantly though, ANY signing, unheard of or not, will definitely be an upgrade on the utter tripe we currently have at Arsenal.

    So relax, and enjoy the summer…if it ever comes!

  8. Its been a very engaging window so far with all the players being linked and I must say one thing that makes me optimistic is the absence of Gazidis & Wenger (no pun intended). as a fan of over 20 years I personally believe wenger began loosing his transfer deft touch when he started recruiting Silvestre,squillaci,park,chamack,sanogo,kim e. t. c. It’s still scary with the transfers based on the fact we have kroenke as an owner but I personally want to believe in raul & vinai.so here’s what i realistically perceive we might be ending up with based on how the rumor mills been spinning.I’m guessing some or all of the following

    1.RB-MUENEIR /PSG €20m(80%)based on Emery’s personal interest

    2.LB-BALANTA /f.c Basell £4m(50%) based on the price & if monreal leaves

    3.CAM- ALEXIS C’MAURICE/ £10m(90%) based on the strong rumors we made an initial bid

    4.CB-CM ANDERSEN/PRAET Sampdoria / €50m(70%) based on persistent strong rumors

    5.WINGER-CARRASCO £25m(90%) based on our strong interest during the winter window & the player admitting interest from a mystery club which of course we know is Arsenals M.O

    6.WINGER- TROSSARD £18m

    LOAN:Can’t rule out a loan move for maybe Malcom or another winger from the giants.

    having said all these, I have the gut feeling we are stuck with Xhaka,ozil,mikhi,Mustafi & kolasinac. there is also a possibility of koscielny, Monreal leaving. we will definitely sell elneny, Jenks & likely chambers raking in around £40m.our squad could look like:-

    I think we shouldn’t expect any announcements or unveiling of potential arrivals until Adidas’ deal is official. Relax dear Goonerette and enjoy the transfer window on loan)

  9. He had stellar performance against France and suddenly we are scouting him. Why are we not scouting him before. I will be surprised if we won’t rescout Iwobi if he has a stellar performance in Nations cup

  10. Fair Prince,from your list, l counted six or seven new players,that is if we get Malcolm as well.Please tell me how do we fund the purchase of these players with only £45m.

  11. Reports saying Sampdoria have rejected our €45 million offer for Andersen and Praet and want a minimum of €55 million.
