Mikel Arteta And Edu Given Instruction Over How To Solve Mesut Ozil Problem At Arsenal


 Arsenal must 'meet halfway' and resolve their stand-off with Mesut Ozil.

That's according to former defender Sol Campbell, who doesn't see any benefit from the current situation

Ozil made just 18 league appearances last season, struggling with injury at the back-end of the campaign and coming under intense criticism across the season.

But there's no use in freezing the German out, even with one year remaining on his well-known lucrative contract, according to Campbell.

Obviously, internally there is something going on," he told talkSPORT. "It’s all there for everyone to see. I think it’s going to come down to how they approach it and the conversations they have in private.

"How Ozil trains and things like that. It’s really going to come down to that.

They need to come together somehow but if there’s a standoff then nothing is going to happen.

“Someone’s got to give and to give in is not always to lose. You don’t always have to give in and it means you are losing.

It’s just sometimes you have to meet halfway.”

On another note, Campbell has liked what he has seen so far from newest Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, who he believes has brought a fresh approach since taking over in December.

“Arsenal were looking for a breath of fresh air and they’ve got it in Mikel," the title-winning defender added. "That’s key really. Players are responding and players are willing to run for each other.

Young players are coming in and getting a chance and all the players are inspired by the young players. Everyone is feeding off each other in a positive way. That’s key for me.

“Edu is there as well and there’s a nice relationship there. It seems to be working really well.

“They have to go from strength to strength now and keep the positivity.

Arsenal Fans Convinced Gabriel Magalhaes Transfer Is Imminent After Latest Instagram Post

Arsenal fans are convinced Gabriel Magalhaes is in north London and could sign for the club today. It is believed that the Gunners could complete a deal to sign Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes today, despite a late bid from Manchester United. That’s according to multiple reports on Saturday morning, that claim the Gunners have made an “intriguing offer” to Lille. United made a late move for the Brazilian centre-back, but Arsenal matched Napoli’s offer of €26m plus €4m add-ons, according to the reports. This means Magalhaes is now very close to joining the Gunners, and bar a late bid from United, the deal could be completed over the weekend. And now Arsenal fans are convinced Gabriel’s transfer is imminent following his latest Instagram post. One supporter posted a tongue-in-cheek picture with joke annotations to signify why Gabriel could be in London. Lille's president Gerard Lopez confirmed last weekend that several clubs had met their asking price for the Brazilian. "He [Ga...

Mikel Arteta Makes Special Transfer Request As Willian Undergoes Arsenal Medical

 Mikel Arteta reportedly made a special request to the Arsenal board to sign Willian. And it seems the Gunners manager got his wish, as the Brazilian has reportedly undergone his medical in north London, after confirming on Sunday he is leaving Chelsea. Arteta is keen to strengthen his Arsenal side this summer but must do so with limited funds. The club have been linked with such stars as Philippe Coutinho, Thomas Partey and Willian in recent months, with the latter the priority. According to The Telegraph, Arteta made a special request to the Arsenal board, and asked them to 'specifically' sign Willian, despite his age. The Spaniard is said to be a big fan of the 32-year-old, and strongly believes that he will improve his Arsenal team next season. The Evening Standard has reported this Monday that Willian has now completed his medical at Arsenal, and will soon pen a three year deal worth £150,000-a-week. Willian said goodbye to Chelsea after seven years in a statement on Sunda...
