Arsenal boss Unai Emery demands Real Madrid star as Mesut Ozil replacement

- Real Madrid star James Rodriguez is out of favour at Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich

- The Colombian is in the final six months of a two-year loan deal at Allianz Arena

-Bayern would sanction Rodriguez switch to the Emirates if Arsenal cough out about £3m to Real Madrid

Arsenal are keen on replacing midfield star Mesut Ozil with Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez.

According to UK Metro citing Daily Mail, the Colombian international has six months left on his two-year loan at Bayern Munich, but has continued to play second fiddle under Niko Kovac at Allianz Arena.

Gunners boss Unai Emery is eager to offload Ozil but the German’s £300,000-a-week salary is driving away potential suitors.

Interestingly, the Bavarians coughed out about £12m to sign Rodriguez from the Los Blancos in 2017, but the report further suggest Real Madrid are now willing to sanction Rodriguez switch to the Emirates for about £3m.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Arsenal manager Unai Emery wants German football star Mesut Ozil to leave the Premier League giants before the January transfer window closes.

The Gunners want to sell the former Real Madrid star so as to raise funds to bring in Barcelona star Denis Suarez to the Emirates stadium.

Mesut Ozil who is the Gunners' highest-paid player on around £350,000-per-week was left out of the team that lost against West Ham United in their last Premier League encounter.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
