Arsenal is looking to retool this summer in the transfer period and rumors have the club chasing Antoine Griezmann and Sami Khedira along with Liverpool and Chelsea and that gives Arsene Wenger two more options to go after following the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona, which has been widely praised and now the Gunners could be poised to make other moves.

Arsenal was leading the Premier League for half the season before fading in the second half, but they secured a place in the Champions League once again and now are looking to add more to their squad. Arsenal has been one of the most consistent teams in the Premier League over the past few years, but something has held them back and now they are hoping to overtake Liverpool and Manchester City this year and making a move for Antoine Griezmann could be a huge part of that.

According to the Independent, the team is happy with the move of Alexis Sanchez, but they are looking for more and after signing him for £35 million from Barcelona, the team is poised to make other moves. Germany star Sami Khedira is a target for the team along with other clubs in the EPL and Wenger has been looking at him for some time and he has one year left on his deal with Real Madrid. Many have praised that idea and some have tweeted that it would be a great fit for Sami Khedira at Arsenal.

According to Bleacher Report, the team is also looking at Antoine Griezmann, who had 16 goals last year in La Liga from Real Sociedad. The 23 year old played well in Brazil at the World Cup and that could add fuel to the fire for a move. Reportedly Chelsea and Liverpool as well as PSG are in line to target Antoine Griezmann and that could make the Gunners step up to sign him.
