Arsenal and Manchester United fans in the Transfer Tavern are arguing with each other and getting giddy with excitement, after their chances of securing a huge January signing received a boost.
TalkSport state Bayer Leverkusen will sell Hakan Calhanoglu for £29m, but no less, as the German side’s chief executive Michael Schade conceded they may have no choice but to sell.
We want to keep Hakan, but with us there is a pain threshold.”
Shade’s comments are the first-time that Bayer have indicated they would sell Calhanoglu for the right price, after it was revealed both Arsenal and United have scouted the dead-ball specialist this season.
The 21-year-old Turkish international has been dubbed the ‘new Mesut Ozil’ by some sections of the media, which is testament to the midfielder’s extraordinary ability and deft talent.
With interest across Europe rising, the race is one for both Premier League sides to pip each other to Calhanoglu’s signature before the end of January- as big clubs are likely to take more notice in the player next term.
One confident Arsenal fan by the pool table has declared that if he really is the new Ozil then North London is the destination for him, as he can learn from the man himself.
