The attacking midfielder has started 11 of Hamburg’s 15 Bundesliga fixtures and scored four times and provided two assists to boot and has been likened to a certain Mesut Ozil, who has of course become something of a fan favourite at the Emirates Stadium.
Çalhano?lu has also attracted the attention of Liverpool and his representative Bektas Demirtas claims a bid is imminent, stating;
“We know of Arsenal’s interest.
“I think they will make a concrete move in December or January.
“Hakan and Hamburg has been a success story – our wish is that he stays here and continues to evolve.”
Arsene Wenger is well known for his penchant for snapping up the best young footballing talent and indeed this is more the Arsenal manager’s style than the splashing of massive fees to land established stars so his interest in Çalhano?lu is perhaps no huge surprise.
