Ed02 is there any early candidates to replace ozil and Sanchez? Thank you.

{Ed002's Note - Right now Arsenal remain hopeful that Oezil will stay. As for Sanchez, replacing him in January may be difficult. Arsenal will look again to Thomas Lemar but it is very unlikely he would be available before the Summer - which means Arsenal need to decide what to do if he were to leave in January - wait out the season with the players they have an hope they can attract Lemar in the summer, or look to options in January. Christian Pulisic of Dortmund remains of interest but is happy where he is right now and progressing well in Germany - a January transfer seems very unlikely. Arda Turan will be a ready to go solution but he is now 30 and that is very much against him moving to one of the more major English sides. This leaves what might be a risky and quite expensive option in PSV's Hirving Lozano who only moved this past summer. PSV havbe said that Arsenal have enquired and they have given them a price of four times what they paid for him in July. It makes little sense to me and could end up being another Lucas Perez. If I was asked my advice I would stick with what they have if Sanchez leaves in January and use Iwobi more, and I would try and negotiate a summer deal for Lemar now.}

Hopefully ozil is sold in January he’s not lived up to expectations.
