Friday's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup: Yusuf Yazici, Mesut Ozil, Jerome Boateng

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Arsenal on Friday, November 13.

The summer transfer window has now closed, with Arsenal pulling off one of the standout deals on deadline day.

The Gunners triggered the release clause of Thomas Partey to cap off a relatively busy summer which saw the likes of Willian and Gabriel Magalhaes join too, and attention will now begin to turn to January.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Emirates Stadium.

Friday morning's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup:


Report: Arsenal chasing 'next Mesut Ozil'

Arsenal are reportedly keeping tabs on Lille star Yusuf Yazici, who has been compared to current Gunners outcast Mesut Ozil.

The Turkey international has scored seven goals in 12 appearances for Lille this season, including a couple of hat-tricks in the Europa League.

According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal are one of a number of sides weighing up a future move for the 23-year-old.

Yazici previously spent four seasons in his native Turkey with Trabzonspor, making over 100 appearances for the club.

Arsenal have been on the lookout for a creative midfielder for a number of transfer windows, with playmaker Ozil now completely out of the picture at the Emirates Stadium.

The German has been linked with a move to Los Angeles Galaxy after being left out of Mikel Arteta's Premier League and Europa League squads.



Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur in fight for Jerome Boateng?

Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

Having made nine appearances in all competitions this season, the 32-year-old remains an important player for the Champions League winners.

However, according to Bild, Bayern are happy for Boateng to leave the Allianz Arena on a free transfer in 2021.

That alleged development has led to interest from the Premier League, where Boateng has previously represented Manchester City.

Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs are said to be monitoring the situation as they look for value for money during next year's summer window.

Bayern are unlikely to consider selling Boateng in January, an approach that they will also seemingly take with David Alaba.
