Evening Ed002,

Is their any update on Sanchez making a decision on his future?

Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - I understand from someone senior in the Arsenal structure that the expectation is he will leave Peter.}

If I could add a question to that one Ed. Any idea if that'll be end of the season or end of the contract.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - The end of the season.}

I might get some hate for this but I don't blame him. And we will struggle without him. bad times coming if he really leaves.

Going to be really tough to replace him with just 1 player.

I remember the Eds saying Reus would be looked at if Alexis was to leave. Reus is a great player but he has injury problems!
We'd probably have to sign 2-3 players just to replace him tbh.

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal has been continuing to watch Lyon winger Rachid Ghezzal and have now spoken with Lyon about his availability in the summer.}

are you able to say who's interested in Alexis at this moment Ed?

Another question is what about Ozil? Do you know if he is wanting to leave? Or if the club would be willing to sell both in the same window

Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Juventus and PSG are very interested. Inter also has an interest but may have an FFP issue.}

Ed on ghezzel I thought he was out of contract in the summer or has he signed a new one? Also are we interested in lorenzo insigne? He would be a good sanchez replacement. Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He is but Lyon are still hoping for a new contract. Arsenal want to know what the situation is. Right now he has also been disciplined by the club.}

21 Feb 2017 21:57:29
Oh ok cheers Ed. Can I ask what he was disciplined for?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Ghezzal got a red card in injury time for a robust dispute with St Et's Fabien Lemoine.}

I saw that and tolisso got sent off straight after.

Agree0 Disagree0

Appreciate the reply Ed, thanks.

Agree0 Disagree1

Is there still interest in Nabil Fekir from Arsenal?

As much as I'd hate to see Alexis leave I can't really blame him, we've been lackluster for a few seasons.

Hopefully we'll actually improve the first team this summer, even if it means spending money to only slightly improve a position.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Too late now.}
