Free agent winger Anwar El Ghazi is looking for a new club after taking in Arsenals’ 3-1 win over Manchester United on Sunday.
Anwar El Ghazi has received an approach from a mystery Premier League club having left PSV Eindhoven this summer.
That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims that El Ghazi could end up back in English football.
PSV announced on Monday morning that El Ghazi’s contract had been terminated by mutual consent.
We can only assume that El Ghazi’s deal was actually ripped up before the transfer deadline and only made official now, otherwise, he won’t be able to join a new club.
Romano notes that one Premier League club has asked about a deal for El Ghazi but there are a number of approaches from Saudi Arabian clubs.
El Ghazi will ‘decide soon’ according to Romano, who attached a photo of El Ghazi at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
El Ghazi watched the 3-1 win over Manchester United from the stands as he potentially nears a return to English football.
Who could sign Anwar El Ghazi?
Let’s get one thing out of the way quickly; no, we don’t think El Ghazi will be signing for Arsenal.
Sure, he was at the Emirates Stadium, but Mikel Arteta is unlikely to have any level of interest in the Dutch wide man.
Nine goals in 31 games for PSV last season isn’t a terrible record, but 28-year-old El Ghazi just isn’t at Arsenal’s level.
So, who else could make a move for the former Aston Villa winger?
We can imagine that promoted sides Luton Town and Sheffield United have at least looked into El Ghazi in an effort to land some experienced quality.
Burnley have an abundance of wingers already, whilst El Ghazi doesn’t really fit the profile for the likes of Brentford or Bournemouth.
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham may look towards El Ghazi as a cheap option and the same could go for Crystal Palace, who lost Wilfried Zaha over the summer.
Everton could be an option despite El Ghazi having a rather forgettable loan spell at Goodison Park in 2022.
Toffees fans won’t be excited at that shout after El Ghazi made just two appearances on loan for Everton but it could make sense.
The Toffees continued to chase wingers before the transfer deadline and may see El Ghazi as competition for the likes of Jack Harrison, Dwight McNeil and Arnaut Danjuma.
A free transfer would suit Everton too and whilst a return would seem strange after his prior loan spell, we wouldn’t completely rule it out.
