Arsenal Transfer News: Inter midfielder exit, West Ham youngster, Pires picks signing
Arsenal have a crisis in defensive midfield, which Wanyama could solve
NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you all the latest news from the Emirates.
 
Arsenal legend Robert Pires has urged Arsene Wenger to sign defensive midfielder Victor Wanyama to solve his midfield injury crisis.
With Alexis Sanchez, Mikel Arteta, and Santi Cazorla all out injured, Wenger is left without many options.
However, Pires believes Southampton midfielder Wanyama, who was the subject of bids from across Europe over the summer, can be the answer to the London club's prayers.
"Wanyama is a good ambassador of Kenyan football and has done well in Southampton but I hope he signs for Arsenal in the future," Pires told journalists in Kenya.
 
Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic claims that Arsenal would be an interesting prospect for him.
The Croatian is currently on loan from Dinamo Zagreb, having reportedly snubbed a similar offer from North London when he signed on an 18-month deal with Inter.
But according to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Brozovic's agent is now briefing that the 23-year-old is interested in a Premier League move, with Arsenal topping the list.
However, Inter have first option on any transfer deal, and talks are said to be advanced between the two parties.
 
West Ham prodigy Reece Oxford is also on Arsenal's radar, having been an integral part of the Hammers side that won at the Emirates on the opening weekend of the season.
The England age group international, who turns 17 in ten days time, still has two years left on his contract, and according to the Daily Telegraph is likely to command a fee of up to £8million.
Wenger will not be alone in his pursuit of the central defender either, with Manchester United said to be at the head of the queue for his signature.
