Galatasaray To Target Arsenal Star After Player’s Contract Expires In Summer

Unai Emery's first season in charge at Arsenal after replacing the long-standing Arsène Wenger is off to a solid start.

The Gunners are fifth in the Premier League and are level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea.

While the former Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain boss wouldn't mind snagging some silverware along the way, the 47-year-old Spaniard is keen to secure a Champions League spot for next season.

Speaking of next season, it seems like Emery is already looking at ways of improving his squad and is ready to let one Arsenal star leave in the summer.

According to the Daily Mirror, the Gunners will not be offering Danny Welbeck a new contract when his current deal runs out at the end of the season.

Galatasaray have already shown interest in the former Manchester United star earlier this year, but the Turkish club are reportedly getting ready to speak to his representatives in January.

The 28-year-old England international has been out of action for the London club since he picked up an ankle injury against Sporting CP in the Europa League.

Emery could also face the possibility of losing Aaron Ramsey next summer, with Paris Saint-Germain showing interest in landing the 27-year-old Welsh midfielder.

Should Arsenal allow Welbeck to leave in the summer?

Let us know in the comments.
