There has been so much activity surrounding the transfers but amid all this mayhem, I have come to realize Arsene Wenger is the Wenger I knew year’s back.
Wenger’s interest to sign some big name players this summer is keeping at least the Bloggers busy and they are taking good advantage of that to post many of articles with seductive titles(including us, of course) in order to grab the attention of the audience.
I was also part of those disgruntled fans that wanted the French manager to be sacked and be replaced by another serious and trophies winning minded coach.
Wenger seriousness in this window has convinced me to conclude that he is determined to finish his Arsenal reign on a high.
Having completed the signing of Granit Xhaka from Borussia Monchengladbach, he has shown great interst in Leceister’s star Jamie Vardy.
Rumors around London claimed Vardy was supposed to undergo a medical on Sunday, but that seems to have been called off as the striker has now flown to Paris along with the England national team for the Euros.
Here are the tweets from renowned football writer Emauele Giulianeli from few hours back about Vardy deal.
Contract of Vardy is waiting to be signed but nothing done yet. It will have to be faxed to France with the England squad #afc #arsenal

Vardy can't get more time off. Met with Wenger on Friday and was meant to go to Colney on Sunday but that was called off. #afc

It will be a great transfer for the Gunners if Vardy rumor ends as a done deal because Arsenal are in need of a world-class striker like the Englishman, as he showed last season that he is the best striker in the Premier League.
So many fans seem to be worried about his age, but he started his career late so the best of him is yet to be seen. Should this be the end of Giroud chance of first team football at Arsenal?
The Independent also reported that Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri has appeared to confirm Arsenal’s interest in the England striker, Foxes manager on Vardy’s future:
“It is all true”
Arsenal striker when interviewed by Sky Sports News HQ after France’s 3-0 win against Scotland that he has been told Jamie Vardy wants to join Arsenal.
“I have been told that Jamie wants to join us and it’s very good news for us. I think we can be complimentary and that’s all I can say,” Giroud told Sky Sports News HQ.
“He’s a fantastic player, so it’s good news for us.”
Should this be the end of Giroud’s first chance opportunity at the Emirate Stadium?
UPDATE(07/06/2016): LATEST REPORTS FROM THE BBC SUGGEST THAT THE STRIKER WAS EXPECTED TO MAKE A DECISION ON ARSENAL’S CONTRACT OFFER BY MONDAY, BUT WITH LEICESTER PUTTING IN A NEW OFFER HE HAS LEFT FOR THE EURO’S WITHOUT MAKING ANY DECISION. THE GUNNERS WILL ONLY WAIT FOR AN UPDATE UNTIL THE START OF THE TOURNAMENT.
