Arsenal has started the new season in some fine form knitting together a run of 6 consecutive victories after the first two games of the season. They are now in the 2nd place in the points table, 8 games into the season, and are looking to battle for the title this season.
However, he has been linked with a move for a number of star players in January, and players in his team have also been linked with a move away from the club.
One such player who is now in the papers linked with an exit from the Emirates is Spanish international Santi Cazorla.
The 31-year old midfielder has started the season alongside Granit Xhaka in the midfield for his side and has been impressive in recent games.
However, Wenger is said to be ready to let him go and is ready to listen to offers in January.
Cazorla’s contract with Arsenal is set to end in 2017 which will leave the manager with just two choices. He should either try and extend his contract or put him up for sale in January or risk losing him on a free in the summer.
And it is understood that Wenger is ready to let him go in January and there is no shortage of suitors for the midfielder.
Reports today have revealed that Italian giants Juventus are desperate to add Cazorla to their ranks in January.
Cazorla has already made 8 starts for Arsenal this season and has also found the net twice and is growing on to become an important player for the side. But Arsene Wenger is looking at other possible options to replace him with, before tabling a new contract.
This has seen Juventus swoop for the 31-year old for a move in January.
However, the Serie A giants will have loads of competition to sign the midfielder as the likes of Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia are all said to also be vying for his signature.
Cazorla has been an important part of Wenger’s squad for years now and it will be interesting to see if he is ready to let go off his player but without finding an apt replacement, it will be suicidal for Wenger to let go of the Spaniard who has started the season in fine form.
Do you think Arsenal should sell Cazorla in January?
