I am not sure if my nerves will be up to the job if this particular piece of Arsenal transfer news pans out the way I think it might, but it would not be the first time we Arsenal fans were left sweating until the very last knockings of a transfer window.
And the fact that it was also Real Madrid that Arsene Wenger was dealing with when he signed the brilliant Germany international star Mesut Ozil on deadline day makes me wonder whether it could happen again. The situation is quite similar as well, because the reason we were able to sign Ozil from them was that the Spanish club had other options.
So with Madrid already having a very strong forward line consisting of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, the Arsenal transfer target Alvaro Morata could find himself in a frustrating position at the club. According to the Daily Mail the young Spanish forward has already been told that he will be the fourth choice behind the famous BBC front line, even though Zinedine Zidane is happy to have him and is not trying to sell him on after activating the buy back clause from Juventus.
At the minute Morata might be happy to fight for his place and he could be confident of breaking into the first team but what if that is looking pretty unlikely towards the end of August? Could Wenger be waiting to see if the young player is looking to move by then? Are we set for another last minute Arsenal transfer?
