Arsenal are in the middle of an inconsistent run in the Premier League this season, with six wins and three losses in their first nine matches so far. Their last win against Swansea was good enough to lift them to the fifth spot in the league table and the fans are expecting them to keep it going in the near future as well.
Though they have a number of top-class players at their disposal, the North London club has failed to use them well and get results in their favour on many occasions. This has prompted a number of them to look out for another club as the Gunners might lose some of their key players in the next transfer window.
Though Arsenal tried their level best to convince the likes of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez to stay back with the club, it is quite unlikely that the duo will be interested in signing new deals. In compliance to that, the reigning FA Cup champions are looking to bring in reinforcements to the squad for the future.
One player, who is eyed by Arsenal for some time now, is the Turkish youngster Berkay Ozcan. The 19-year-old sensation is playing for the German outfit VfB Stuttgart at the moment and is eyeing new heights in the top flight after leading his club to the top tier in the Bundesliga last season.
A product of the Stuttgart Academy, the centre-forward was brought into the senior side at the start of the last term and it proved to be a fruitful decision. Ozcan not only scored goals for his side but also assisted his teammates, helping his side to win the Bundesliga 2 title last season.
Known for his darting runs into the heart of the opposition defence, the Turkish youngster has made a name for himself as a prolific figure in Stuttgart’s attack in the past few months. His ability to shoot the ball and score goals from a variety of ranges has earned him rave reviews from a number of experts in European football and has attracted a number of big-name clubs from all major football leagues.
The potential move will help the immensely talented 19-year-old forward to get guidance from one of the best coaches in the form of Arsene Wenger, who has shaped a number of youngsters into superstars, Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas being the best examples. Reportedly, the player is very much excited and wants the move to happen in the near future.
But should Arsenal spend on him?
