Arsenal are in advanced talks with Real Madrid in the hope of sealing a late move for Mesut Ozil before Monday night’s transfer deadline. Ozil has fallen down the pecking order at Madrid, and will likely fall even further after Bale’s world-record €100m move to the club. The Gunners are reportedly offering a club-record €47-million for the German star’s signature, but are facing opposition from Paris St-Germain. The 24-year-old playmaker, who has created 87 assists in the last three seasons, is said to prefer the north London club. Ozil would be one of at least three signings Wenger is hoping to seal on deadline day after a frustrating transfer window for the club, with bids for Luis Suarez, Gonzalo Higuain, Wayne Rooney, Karim Benzema and Angel di Maria all unsuccessful. Palermo goalkeeper Emiliano Vivano is currently discussing personal terms to join the Gunners on a season-long loan, and undergoing a medical. But Wenger is also working on a third deal, most likely a proven striker.
