Wenger in for Nasri replacement

As contract talks between Nasri and Arsenal stumble, Wenger has been quick to identify a potential replacement reports the Mirror.

18-year old Bundesliga star Mario Gotze has been excellent this season, bagging 33 appearances, scoring 6 goals and assisting 15 for German club Borussia Dortmund.

The German starlet was referred to as "one of the best talents that we've ever had" by German FA technical director Matthias Sammer.

But, the German international star who already has 4 international appearances to his name would command a large transfer fee and could cost Arsenal up to £25million.
