Gunners chase Lille star as a replacement for Mesut Ozil

Arsenal is on a hunt for a successor for Mesut Ozil and has settled for Lille star Yusuf Yazici who has put on a hell of a show at the start of the season. Yazici is being called ‘the next Mesut Ozil’, who has represented Turkey at the international level. The 23-year-old is a playmaker just like Ozil, with an impressive goal-scoring record. Former Trabzonspor man has scored 7 goals off 8 games for Lille already which includes two hat-tricks in the Europa League. While playing for Turkey he has netted 22 times in 100 games. Yazici moved to Lille for £15.75m with four more years left in the deal.
