Five big moves that could go ahead during the World Cup including Arsenal and Chelsea deals

2. Mario Mandzukic – Bayern Munich (and Croatia) to Arsenal

The Croatian was in exceptional form last season, so it is amazing to think that Bayern are willing to let him leave this summer. However, with Robert Lewandowski set to join in the coming weeks, he has decided that he’d be best served elsewhere rather than languish on the bench in a rotation policy. Arsenal are in desperate need of a striker, having been left with just Olivier Giroud last term, and reports last month that Mandzukic’s agent flew to London to meet with Arsenal officials was not denied by either side.
