Gilabola.com – Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is planning a massive warehouse wash amid his efforts to restructure the first team ahead of the arrival of new names to the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal reportedly will soon bring in Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille, the French club even crossed out the name of their Brazilian defender in the opening match of Ligue 1 against Rennes on Sunday (23/8) this morning which ended with the score 1-1.
It is reported that the 22-year-old defender who has also attracted interest from Manchester United and Napoli will join the Emirates Stadium in the near future for a transfer fee of 22 million pounds, around 425 billion rupiah. The center-back will become Arsenal’s fourth signing of the summer after Pablo Mari, Cedric Soares and Willian.
While 19-year-old young French defender William Saliba will also arrive following a season-long loan spell at Saint-Etienne, manager Mikel Arteta will have plenty of options in his current squad.
The arrival of several of these players forced Arteta to clean up the warehouse on his current squad to balance Arsenal’s balance sheet and give himself more shopping space in the transfer market.
Report from Daily Express mentioned that the former Manchester City assistant manager will be able to sell up to 15 available status players to leave the Emirates Stadium before the transfer window closes in October.
Arsenal just spent 14 million pounds [271 milyar rupiah] So far and the transfer deal for Gabriel will add to their outlay from their available budget of just around £ 40 million [773 milyar rupiah].
The sale of players is now expected to increase transfer funds for Mikel Arteta and the good news is that some players are starting to get interest from other clubs. Defender duo Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Shkodran Mustafi are currently in the eye for Napoli as they prepare to lose Gabriel Magalhaes to the Emirates, while Kalidou Koulibaly will enter the transfer market to raise money for Napoli.
Rob Holding and Calum Chambers, who have been heavily linked with a move to Fulham, have also been told they could leave Arsenal this summer. Meanwhile, young star Ainsley Maitland-Niles has been on the radar of Wolves, Spurs and Newcastle United with a transfer fee of 20 million pounds, around 386 billion rupiah.
Both Lazio and AS Roma want Lucas Torreira, two other Serie A clubs Torino and Fiorentina are also monitoring his current situation. French midfielder Matteo Guendouzi will also leave, while Alexandre Lacazette could be sold as Juventus and Atletico Madrid have been seriously linked with interest in the services of the former Lyon forward.
