For whichever explanation, the transfer rumor silly period went from to 60 these days, and there are no scarcity of Arsenal one-way links. Possibly it is tied to the 2019-20 men’s season lastly ending yesterday with Bayern Munich besting PSG 1- in the Champions League Remaining.
If I were being to do an particular person publish for every link, the web-site would be flooded with a bunch of “there’s not a great deal to this” posts. I’d run out of diverse strategies to say the same factor. And I’d likely go ridiculous striving to keep tempo. As an alternative, I’m going to start off a periodic capture-all submit to address a lot more rumors in one particular position. So below we go.
Existing Arsenal Players
Hector Bellerin apart, I would not be as well upset to see any of the players linked with a move absent from the Emirates this window go. Arsenal require to rebuild the roster, and element of that is shifting on from guys who don’t in good shape Mikel Arteta’s program. And recall, every single participant has a price.
- Matteo Guendouzi: nearly specific to be leaving Arsenal this summer time and need to generate a decent quantity of income for the club to reinvest. He has reportedly been available to a number of unique clubs, such as Atletico Madrid and Lyon, as portion of money + player swap promotions, but so far, all those strategies have been rebuffed. He’s been linked with a move to PSG as well.
- Lucas Torreria: joined to a transfer back to Italy with AC Milan and Torino reportedly fascinated. Torreira has tumbled down the pecking order beneath Mikel Arteta, very likely because he is not good sufficient on the ball for how Arteta would like to engage in. That is not a knock on Torreira, intellect you. He’s a pretty fantastic #6, but Arteta’s program calls for two #6/#8 hybrids.
- Mesut Ozil: all’s tranquil on the Ozil front. He had briefly been linked with a move to Turkey, but his exorbitant weekly wage continues to be a stumbling block for any probable transfer, be it bank loan or sale. Individually, I’m holding out hope that his exclusion from the Arsenal aspect in the course of the restart was somehow tied to orders from Raul Sanllehi and that with him long gone, Ozil might no extended be persona non grata.
- Alexandre Lacazette: a single of the gamers Arsenal could provide for major cash to assist fund other transfers this window. He’s been connected to Atletico Madrid and to Juventus.
- Ainsley Maitland-Niles: appears to be headed to Wolves for £20M.
- Hector Bellerin: “has been offered” to PSG, but whether the offer came from his agent, Arsenal, or was produced up, isn’t obvious.
- Sead Kolasinac: linked with a return to Schalke, quite possibly on a financial loan. But the German facet reportedly really don’t want to spend much more than £50,000 a week, which is a issue due to the fact Kolasinac will make much more than three moments that. Arsenal would possible have to subsidize his weekly wage to make a mortgage do the job.
- Sokratis: joined to Italian golf equipment, such as Roma and Napoli. Arsenal are possible to shift on from a centerback (or two) this summer, and he’s the dude I’d treatment least about shedding. It would be something if Arsenal pipped Napoli for Gabriel Magalhaes then turn around and promote them Sokratis.
-
Calum Chambers: linked with a £12M transfer to Fulham. I wouldn’t be stunned to see 1 of Chambers or Holding transfer this window. Their homegrown status and that they are British make them useful to lesser Premier League clubs.
-
Rob Holding: joined to Leeds. See Chambers, Calum.
- Shkodran Mustafi: a handful of whispers of curiosity from Napoli, but with his injuries, Arteta’s praise for his participate in, and his enhancement under the new manager, I question he moves.
- Emi Martinez: has explained that he wishes far more taking part in time at Arsenal or a transfer. With Bernd Leno’s injuries position nevertheless unclear, I question Martinez is heading everywhere.
Rumored Transfer Targets
As normally with transfer back links, just take them with a grain of salt. Other than Gabriel, which looks specified at this issue, and Partey, which David Ornstein is all about, I’d protect anything from a deserving-plenty of supply in it is very own article. There’s also not a lot a lot more on most of these further than “Arsenal are interested” which, alright, great. Without having more data, it’s almost unattainable to individual the serious inbound links from the golf equipment/brokers contacting up their media buddies to make buzz and elevate price ranges. The Gunners never have substantially money to shell out with out providing gamers, so most of these are not happening.
- Gabriel Magalhães: the 22-year previous Brazilian centerback completed an Arsenal clinical right now, so it is a just a problem of when he puts pen to paper. Arsenal will pay out Lille €26m + €4m in increase-ons for the transfer. It is a good piece of small business for the Gunners.
- Thiago Alcantara: Mikel Arteta reportedly phoned the Bayern Munich central midfielder today. He’d been seriously connected to Liverpool, but it looks as if Arsenal are late entrants to the race for his services. Bayern reportedly want £23M for him. He’s 2 years older than Thomas Partey, but substantially much less expensive. For a male desired for 2 or 3 seasons to keep the club in excess of throughout a rebuild, he may perhaps make additional feeling.
- Dani Ceballos: a re-mortgage or long-lasting shift for the Genuine Madrid midfielder continues to be superior on Arsenal’s precedence checklist this window. The Spanish giants just lately produced noise about wanting him to comprehensive a preseason with the club in advance of producing a choice, but I consider that was more a negotiating tactic to travel up the rate. AC Milan are apparently trying to pip the Gunners on Ceballos, but I assume this a single will get completed for Arsenal.
- Thomas Partey: he’s continue to Arsenal’s #1 focus on in accordance to David Ornstein, but Atletico Madrid are keeping company to their need that the Gunners pay out his £45M release clause up front, in total. Without having more revenue, the Gunners never have that kind of income on hand. Offering Ainsley Maitland Niles and a few of the other guys discussed over may possibly get the Gunners there.
- Houssem Aouar: Arsenal reportedly had a Matteo Guendouzi + money offer rebuffed by Lyon for their talisman midfielder. They’ve slapped a €50M+ rate tag on him to boot. Dependent on the report, he prefers either Juventus or Liverpool to Arsenal, anyway. I really don’t think this just one is likely to come about.
- Malang Sarr: he’s a 21-yr outdated centerback, obtainable on a free of charge, and has 119 initially workforce appearances at Good to his name. Arsenal would be crazy not to at least kick the tires on him, which they have reportedly completed. He’s garnering curiosity from close to Europe, and who knows what outcome the Gabriel signing will have on his want to arrive to Arsenal. But the Gunners should really certainly consider! Probably his former mentor Patrick Vieira could set in a fantastic word.
-
Philippe Coutinho: the buzz all around a move to Arsenal has died down of late, and new Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is supposedly keen continue to keep him at Camp Nou subsequent season. I’ll admit, even so, I’m increased on him after seeing him (admittedly in garbage time) for Bayern in the Champions League.

I’m guaranteed I’ve missed some for the reason that everybody with a blue examine mark on Twitter (and many folks without the need of them, to be honest) are peddling transfer rumors this time of yr. Experience absolutely free to drop any many others you’ve seen in the feedback!
