The next few weeks and months will be a crucial time for Arsenal in the transfer market which could have a big say in the potential future success of the club. I do not mean the opening of the winter transfer window in January either, although that could also be important as we try to keep up the Premier League title challenge this season.
What is even more important for us over the next few months is whether Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal board can convince the club’s two biggest players Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil to sign new contract extensions as their current deals are due to enter the final year at the end of this season.
In order to do that it looks like Arsenal are going to have to break the bank and come up with a significant pay rise for the Chilean striker and the German midfield star, as both are asking for over £200,000 a week according to an Evening Standard report.
This would surely break the wage structure at the Emirates but the option is to see our two best players leave in all probability, with top clubs around Europe including Juventus and Man City ready to step in and sign the two Arsenal stars.
Will we cough up the dough and keep these two Gunners do you think?
