# Arsenal could sell Sanchez and Ozil to fund Lemar bid

Arsenal are considering whether or not to sell both Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil in January to fund a new bid for Thomas Lemar.

The [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5117391/Arsenal-launch-fresh-January-Thomas-Lemar.html) report that the Gunners could sell the want-away duo in January to avoid losing the pair for nothing when the summer transfer window comes around.

Arsenal were linked with a big-money move for Lemar during the summer, but after a big turnover of players during the summer, the Ligue 1 outfit were desperate to keep hold of the winger.

The Gunners were willing to pay around £90 million for the winger in the summer, but Monaco dug their heels in.

Should Arsenal return to the Ligue 1 side in January any bid lodged is expected to be well below the previous £90 million.

Both Sanchez and Ozil are out of contract in the summer and have been linked to Manchester City and Barcelona respectively.
