Arsenal's transfer budget is 'ridiculous' and Ozil must go - Aliadiere

A former Gunner has said he cannot understand where the money goes and that the Germany international must be moved on so Arsenal can rebuild

Former Arsenal forward Jeremie Aliadiere has blasted the club’s transfer budget, labelling it ‘ridiculous’ and said they must part ways with Mesut Ozil so they can ‘begin anew’.

The Gunners have been linked with Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace, but their bid of around £40 million ($80m) has been rejected by the Eagles, who value the player at £80 million. It has been suggested Arsenal’s total transfer budget is £45m.
