Wenger does seem to be able to "woo" players to sign up with Arsenal. Is it the outrageous accent or what?

Well we have Matip. Who played for schalke.
We have Can who plays next to him for Germany.
We have klopp who must also be able to woo players.
But yeah he'll probably end up at Arsenal or juventus.

Come June 30th 2018, Schalke 04 player Leon Goretzka will officially become a free agent and according to Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff, the player will be playing for a Premier League club.
The midfielder has turned down all offers of a new contract with the Bundesliga outfit and has been linked with Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Juventus, as well as rivals Bayern Munich in the last few months.
Goretzka was one of Germany’s best players at the last FIFA Confederations Cup, which the World champions also won. But which Premier league club could he be joining?
My simple answer is – Arsenal
Yes, that’s right. I sincerely believe the German will be playing for the Gunners next season. Although some reports today claim he has signed for Liverpool, I do not want to believe it especially as the rumours are not coming from very reliable sources. There are just too many reasons why I believe he will be signing for Arsenal and not Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United or any of the other clubs that have been linked with his signing.
1. Sead Kolasinac
Arsenal signed Sead Kolasinac this summer on a free transfer from Schalke 04. At the same time, the powers that be must have noticed Goretzka and could use the Bosnian to help them get the German international – the two are good friends which could prove useful in their pursuit of the player.
2. Mesut Ozil
Aside from Sead Kolasinac, Mesut Ozil and Per Mertesacker could help the Gunners get their target ahead of all others. And should Ozil leave; which is looking more and more likely, Goretzka will know he will immediately be the direct replacement for his national team-mate. The versatility of Leon Goretzka could come into play here.
3. Wenger vs Jurgen Klopp
Judging by recent reports, it is Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool who are leading the race to sign the midfielder. But in this instance, I believe that it is Wenger that is more likely to win this battle given the Frenchman’s wealth of experience and powers of persuasion.
100% disagree. Do you really believe Ozil will convince a player to play for them next season? He might not even extend a contract with Arsenal. Besides, Wenger has signed a few german before but he seems failed to help them to develop further in their career. Podolski/Ozil/Mertezker are all failed to develop the game further and some of them performance dropped after joining Arseanl. Whereas Klopp is famous in Germany to help youngsters to develop and there are a lot of successful examples. Klopp is also a well-known classy manager in Germany. If you a German, there is no doubt for which manager you would choose to play for. Finally, Matip can also help us to convince Goretzka to join us.

If Klopp wants him, it will be his job to convince him, nobody else. Otherwise we seem to be linked with everybody but a good CB

If Klopp wants him, it will be his job to convince him, nobody else. Otherwise we seem to be linked with everybody but a good CB I am sure Klopp will convince him if he wants him. Just like what he did in the past for getting us Mane/Salah/Matip/Keita (also VVD). With Klopp in charge, I dont actually worry about if the players want to join us. However, sixtiesreds said Goretzka will prefer Arsenal rather than us and one of the reason is there are some germans or ex-schalke player there. I just explaint to him that if it is a factor, we have Matip as he was quite influential in Schalke.

He even lost the players at both Chelsea and Real, so you're probably right there sixties, just a matter of time and some of their fans are grumbling about him already.

Anyone see that Suso and Luis Alberto have been called up to the Spain squad.
I've always liked Alberto and Suso's quality was blatant.
Looks like we got rid way too soon.

Two players who looked to have what it takes, but were never taken seriously by the manager for some reason. It seems for both players the manager at the time had a set vision for the type of player for each position on the field and Susu and Alberto didnt fit the model at that time.
Same thing currently with Grujic it would seem.
