Who should replace Sanchez and Ozil

Recently Arsene Wenger had admitted defeat in holding on to his two most important players. Ozil and Sanchez.

They have been the difference makers for Arsenal on many occasion but with both these players running out of contract by the coming summer, Wenger really has a huge task in his hand to replace these two star players.

A very recent report has surfaced that both Ozil and Sanchez could be sold in the January transfer window so that some money can be seen from them. Which means that Wenger has to find ideal replacements for both these players and it isn’t an easy job to do so but regardless of how tough the task is, there is no turning around from the fact, that replacements have to be acquired.

Wenger will not be at Arsenal for long and before he goes, he needs to make sure that he’s leaving behind a team that he can proud of. There are a lot of areas which needs improvements. One such position was the striker and Wenger had fixed it by acquiring the services of Alexander Lacazzette. That was a pretty good move to be honest and he needs to do the same again.

There are a few players like Wilshere and Walcott who can definitely step up their game a few notches and fill the void but it’s a very big IF. The situation all but confirms that a replacement purchase is inevitable.

So, who can Arsenal buy to replace Ozil and Sanchez?

      1.       Paulo Dybala

I really cannot think of a better replacement for Sanchez than Dybala. This lad being just 23 years of age had already proved his potential on many occasions. He can dribble, pass, create and score and these are exactly the things that Sanchez has been doing. Dybala too is a direct player who loves to takes on defenders just for the fun of it and just like Sanchez, he too is a team player.

The advantage of having a player like Dybala is that he can be deployed on any of the front four positions. He can play on either flank, as a secondary striker or even as a striker. He can be the target man for the team or the creator. The way he links up with his team mates is also good. With many years of football ahead of him, the apparent heir to Messi will definitely prove to be a very good investment.

      2.       Isco

The only, only, only player who can not only replace Ozil but also prove to be an improvement on the German international is Isco. This 25 year old Spaniard, currently playing for Real Madrid, is one of the best attacking midfielders in the world. Period.

He has improved his game so much that from being a bench warmer, Isco has become a constant presence in Real Madrid’s starting eleven.

Comparing every attributes of Ozil with Isco will clearly indicate that the latter is definitely the superior player. His contributions to the Spanish giants has been very significant and he is a player who definitely shifts gear when the occasion demands it unlike Ozil who goes unnoticed on many big games. Isco should definitely be the number one choice to replace Ozil.

There is no arguing the fact that Arsenal definitely have to break their bank to land these two superstars but if Wenger wants his legacy to stay intact and if Arsenal want to prove that they’re not just another selling club, Dybala and Isco must be purchased.
