Gunners in talks for two deals
Arsenal are set to complete the formalities of a new contract for Nacho Monreal and Mesut Ozil.
The duo have been in impressive form over the past 12 months, helping the Gunners secure back-to-back FA Cup titles in May.
Arsenal began talks with Nacho Monreal’s representatives from Bahía Internacional over a contract extension during the summer after the left-back attracted two failed bids from Athletic Bilbao.
Mesut Ozil, who has registered the most assists in the Premier League in 2015, has also been offered a new deal at the club after returning from injury in rejuvenated form in the spring.
The German’s current contract expires in 2018 but Arsenal have proposed a new deal which would make Ozil the highest-paid player at Arsenal.
An agreement has reportedly been reached between Monreal and the club but talks are still on-going with Ozil’s agent Dr Erkut Sogut.
Following the departures of Robin van Persie and Bacary Sagna after contract disputes, the Gunners have made changes to club policy regarding players who are entering the final two years of their contract.
Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla recently signed new deals ahead of claims that Alexis Sanchez has also been offered an extension.
There was no need to rush negotiations with Ozil & Monreal .The former blows hot & cold most of the times. There are so many left backs who are far better than him . We need far better players to win League & Euefa Champions league . We been to compete against Real Madrid , Barcelona ,Bayern Munich etc.
there is no problem for extend nacho’s contract and it doesn’t mean arsenal can not sign another left back because they have gave nacho new contract
Nacho is one of The best leftback. I Would love to see him in arsenal for many more years
i think it is great to offer them new deals I would like to see them stay at arsenal till they retire from football ind that goes for all the present players
