Manchester United are not satisfied with the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal.

The Red Devils snatched the Chilean from under the noses of Manchester City by offering him a mouth-watering £450,000 per week deal.

However, the Red Devils are not done with raiding the Gunners yet and they could go back for Mesut Ozil.

Ozil is in a similar situation as Sanchez, the German has refused to sign a new deal and has only 6 months left on his current deal.

Unlike Sanchez, Ozil has not attracted many takers this month, but the Gunners know his suitors are choosing to stay under the radar and sign him for free.

One of such suitors is Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho had a good rapport with Ozil when they were both at Real Madrid, and they are both keen to work together again.

Reports are claiming that the Red Devils are planning to make Ozil an irresistible offer this month.

Arsenal are hoping Ozil would sign a new deal worth £275, 000 per week, but Manchester United are happy to offer him more as well as a huge signing on bonus and image rights fee.

Arsenal want to wrap up the signing of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang before returning to the negotiations table with Ozil and his representatives.

Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger is set to add another player to his team this month.

The Gunners have had one of their most busy winter transfer windows this year.

They have already signed Greek wonder-kid Konstantinos Mavropanos, Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Manchester United, and they are closing in on a deal to sign Pierre Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund.

However, defence is an area of the Arsenal’s team that obviously needs strengthening.

The Gunners have been linked with Johnny Evans of West Brom but the former Manchester United defender is waiting on Manchester City.

Sun Sport is reporting that Arsene Wenger has identified Mainz centre-back, Abdou Diallo as a good addition to his team.

The French man was the captain of his country’s Under 21 team and starred for AS Monaco last season.

He left the French league to further his development with first team opportunities in Germany.

He has impressed in the Bundesliga in the small time he has spent there, and Arsenal want to beat his other suitors to his signature.

He joined Mainz for just £4.3 million last season, the Germans would be looking to at least double their money when he finally leaves them.

Liverpool flop, Lazar Markovic is finally set to leave Anfield after failing to impress Jurgen Klopp.

The Serbian joined Liverpool from Benfica in 2014 for  £20 million.

At the time he joined, he had helped Benfica win the Portuguese league and reach the Europa League final.

However, his Liverpool career failed to kick on and he scored just 3 goals in 34 games for the Reds in his very first season.

He had a series of loan moves to Fenerbahce, Sporting Lisbon, and Hull City but still failed to reignite his career.

He has not played for Liverpool since May 2015, and the closest he has come to play for the Reds this season was being named as a substitute in their Carabao Cup game against Leicester City.

A couple of teams wanted to sign him last summer, but Liverpool’s  £16 million demand put them all off.

The youngster would have just a year left on his current contract after this season, and Liverpool are desperate to cash in on him.

Spartak Moscow are preparing to sell Quincy Promes this month, with Southampton prepared to pay  £30 million for the Dutchman.

The Russians believe Markovic can be revived by a spell in a less physical league like the Russian league.
