Lucho Gonzalez: Arsenal have apparently had a loan move for Lucho Gonzalez of Marseille turned down. Marseille boss Didier Deschamps says that he "spoke to [Wenger] and the one that really interests them is Lucho Gonzalez." Deschamps then said that Arsenal were only interested in taking him on loan and that there are "no negotiations." The 30 year old Argentinian would not have been a typical Wenger signing and could have brought some of the experience to the squad which the fans are crying out for. Reportedly linked with numerous clubs over the summer, Gonzalez wants out of Marseille and a permanent deal with a low price tag might be manageable. It remains to be seen if Wenger will return with a more agreeable offer.
Andy Polo: Sky Sports have suggested that Arsenal are in advanced talks with Peruvian side Universitario over the potential transfer of talented youngster Andy Polo. The 16 year old wonderkid is already playing with the first team, touted as the new Alexis Sanchez, Universitario say that they are "open to negotiate but on concrete conditions." A move to N5 is possible for La Joya (the Jewel) but he would be another player for the future who would probably have to spend 3 years in Spain, in order to earn a work permit - though he has seemingly been called up by the full national side for the friendly Peru against Bolivia soon. This may mean that he could get a 'special talent' visa - like Ryo Miyaichi.
Eden Hazard: Arsenal have also reportedly agreed a deal with Lille to bring talented winger Eden Hazard to the Emirates for £23m. Personal terms have not been agreed with Hazard himself, talks haven't even started and are not likely to until after the Udinese game. Arsenal's qualification for the Champions League group stages apparently being key to the deal. Personally, I can see Hazard coming into the club as Samir Nasri's replacement - if he does actually leave - but I can't see where he would fit in with the current squad as it is. I think that we already have 7 or 8 wingers in the squad.
Are any of these the right man to sign? Let me know through Twitter (@Goonernl) or the comments below.
