Schar is rated as one of the finest young defenders in Europe and is believed to be able for around £10m – so could fit the bill when it comes to Arsenal’s quest to secure defensive depth.
He is a key player at St. Jakub Park, but was always likely to move on from the Swiss league in the near future, a fact confirmed by the player himself:
“Basel are open to negotiations, but at this moment I have decided that I want to concentrate on my performances.”
“I went through a difficult period and it wasn’t the right time to discuss my renewal. I don’t want to be worrying about that now.”
“My dream remains to have an experience abroad. I’ve always said that if the opportunity presented itself, I would take it, obviously in agreement with Basel.”
