It appears that Arsène Wenger, despite previously expressing skepticism about the winter transfer window, is now prioritizing signings for Arsenal. Yoann Gourcuff, the Lyon midfielder, is rumored to be a potential target for the Gunners, along with Mesut Özil. Additionally, Arsenal is reportedly interested in Julian Draxler from Schalke 04.
These potential signings indicate a shift in strategy for Wenger, who has historically been cautious during the winter transfer window. However, Arsenal’s current position at the top of the English Premier League may have prompted the club to pursue reinforcements.
The question remains whether Lyon’s president, Jean-Michel Aulas, will be willing to part ways with Gourcuff, especially as Lyon is experiencing a resurgence and aiming for a European place. The developments in this potential transfer saga are eagerly awaited.
