For that, he has already started looking out for such players who can help the Frenchman to finish that Premier League trophy drought.[spacer height=”30px”]
One such player of many, is the Young French midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure, currently the top scorer with 7 goals complemented with 2 assists for the Yellow Army, has gained attention of Wenger with flawless performances every weekend, noteworthy being the 4-1 demolition of Current Champions Chelsea where he overshadowed world class players like N’golo Kante and Cesc Fabregas.[spacer height=”30px”]

Well if we analyse Wenger’s choice, it is justified why he is eager to bring Doucoure to Emirates in this summer before the World Cup starts. [spacer height=”30px”]
With Wilshere’s future still in skepticism after his rejuvenating arrival from Bournemouth and Xhaka’s big money move from Borussia Monchengladbach hasn’t proved to be that talent, the French boss would have desired for, as the Swiss International has made numerous sloppy mistakes resulting into goals.[spacer height=”30px”]
Gunners have surely bolstered their attack with the arrival of heavy weight guns ilk, Alex Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s recent move.[spacer height=”30px”]
Thus Wenger would want to strengthen his midfield which has looked dubious apart from Mesut Ozil.

All said and done, the race for aspiring French international will not be a walk in the park for the Gunners as Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United look to tussle for ex-Rennes star.[spacer height=”30px”]
Going according to the reports, Red devils boss Jose Mourinho is ardently following Watford’s current season star.[spacer height=”30px”]
United’s interest in the young midfielder is manifested by the scouts who were sent to watch Doucoure in the last week’s encounter against West Brom.[spacer height=”30px”]
Wenger can be assured to have a tug-of war for his choice, because Mourinho has shown his desires of signing at least two central midfielders in this summer.[spacer height=”30px”]
As the time is looming for United’s stalwart midfielder Michael Carrick, who would be hanging his boots to start a new phase of life i.e. as a coach.[spacer height=”30px”]
The “Special One” would definitely want to fill that void that would be created after Carrick’s departure and Doucoure will be the perfect replacement as he is accustomed to play box-to-box football.[spacer height=”30px”]
[spacer height=”30px”]
Even after all such worrying speculations, Gunners fans and Wenger can feel some sort of satisfaction after Doucoure has said in one of the French interviews quick fire Q&A about a move to the Emirates or White Hart Lane, Doucoure choice made it crystal clear.[spacer height=”30px”]
[perfectpullquote align=”full” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]“Emirates (he replied) because of Arsene Wenger”[/perfectpullquote][spacer height=”30px”]
Thus, even after knowing what French midfielder desires for, tables can turn very quickly. So, it’s just the matter of time before we see Doucoure in a new outfit in this upcoming season.
