Should Liverpool make a move for Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil?
While Liverpool coped easily without Philippe Coutinho against Manchester City, they really missed him last night against Swansea City.
The Reds were beaten 1-0 and managed only four shots on target despite controlling possession with 72 per cent.
With the transfer window still open, Liverpool fans’ minds are on reinforcements, and a potential solution could be at competitors Arsenal.
World Cup winner Mesut Ozil’s contract at Arsenal is running down and fans are wondering whether a bargain move could become viable.
Ozil will be available at the end of the current season on a free transfer – a coup for any club considering Arsenal paid £42 million to sign him in 2013.
The 29-year-old has six assists this season – the same number Philippe Coutinho managed before his £142 million switch to Barcelona.
