Arsenal Linked With Sensational 'January Swap Deal' Involving Paris Saint-Germain Player

Just a day after reports suggested Mesut Ozil is edging closer to a summer switch to Manchester United, another key Arsenal player has been linked with a move away from the Emirates.

As we all know, Alexis Sanchez was on the verge of joining Manchester City for a reported £60 million in the previous window, but a transfer failed to materialise.

But now it looks like another club are eyeing a move for the Chilean international.

Sanchez, who has scored 24 goals since the start of last season, is today being linked with a 'sensational swap deal' to join Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain.

According to the Daily Star, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is understood to be 'seriously considering' a swap deal with Unai Emery's side, having been a long-term admirer of the German international.

Back in August, the agent of Draxler, Roger Witterman, spoke out after it emerged that Arsenal were preparing a £32 million for the 24-year-old midfielder:

"Paris (Saint-Germain) is building a group with the best players in the world at every post, and Julian is one of them and he wants to continue to be part of it." Witterman told Bild.

But just a matter of weeks later, Draxler's name has been linked with a move to the Emirates and he could move as soon as January.

In terms of Ozil's future at Arsenal, the German playmaker been stalling on a new contract at the Emirates and the possibility of the German putting pen to paper on an improved deal doesn't look likely at this point - with the Gunners potentially losing the 28-year old for free in the summer.

The former Schalke and Werder Bremen man has been linked with a number of clubs, namely Fenerbahce and Inter Milan, but United are said to be the leading contenders for his signature, and now Kike Marin from El Confidencial is reporting that Ozil is getting closer to an agreement that will see him move to Old Trafford.
