Dusan TadicIt’s been reported that Arsenal have set their sights on FC Twente’s Dusan Tadic.

With Theo Walcott out for the remainder of the season with anterior cruciate ligament damage, it’s thought Arsene Wenger is keen to bring in a suitable replacement for the England winger and even though the Frenchman already has many options to choose from, TuttoMercatoWeb claims Le Boss has targeted Tadic.

Known for his flamboyancy and dribbling skills, the 25-year-old has made 19 appearances in all competitions thus far for the Eredivisie outfit, contributing eight goals and assists along the way.

Although Tadic is primarily operates on the left wing, the Serbia international can also play on the other flank – as well as an emergency second striker.

Tadic is contracted to Twente until 2015 with an option to add two additional years to his existing deal and is thought to be valued between £8-10 million.

Though he does look like a player who could adjust to the Premier League, as well as Arsenal’s playing style, many of the Emirates faithful will believe they already have a more than fitting replacement for Theo in young Serge Gnabry, who has really stepped up to the plate since Walcott has been out.

Let’s see if anything comes of this rumour.

Here is a video of Tadic in action:

    What a media frenzy world we live in today. When will we stop playing football out of the field and do so on the field only?

    In Gnabry, Arsenal have more than a capable player to fill Walcott’s boots!
    Arsenal Will need a more direct striker to competently match ManCity, Chelsea to be ahead at the finish line! … and trophies this campaign!

  • Roland C Rozario says:

    All said by the media in their ‘transfer rumours’… one must never discount nor put this player in the remote corner of the Emirates!
    The Return of none other then The Great Dane, Bendtner… He may just be that Ace to seal trophies this season for Arsenal!
