Arsenal on RED ALERT as Schar reveals Basel sale plans

Arsenal are on red alert after FC Basel defender Fabian Schar admitted he's ready to move in January. Schar - valued at £10m by Basel - says he is now open to a move to Germany, England or a big side in Italy.

The youngster, a long-term target for the Gunners, told Blick: "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.

"I need a team with important prospects. I'd like the Bundesliga, Premier League or top Italian clubs like Inter, Milan and Juventus. I couldn't say no.

"I want to hear all my options and consider them carefully. There was some contact in the summer, but nothing serious."
