Dissecting Arsenal Transfer Business
Jul 2, 2023 11:49 AM
Arsenal are doing some fair amount of business in this summer transfer window and the good thing about these deals is that they are getting it done fairly quickly so that the players can link up with the rest of the squad before they head up for the Pre Season which would be a huge advantage. Following are the players that Arsenal are looking at currently .
1. Kai Havertz : This is a done deal already where Arsenal have signed the German for a few in the region of 65m £ that's massive given the fact that he has underperformed massively at Chelsea and was not able to score goals at all.
But the major reason that looks like derived Arteta is that he is highly versatile and can easily play in 3 to 4 different offensive positions . That's what Mikel Arteta loves to see from his Squad where the players can constantly interchange positions with ease and it gives the manager an extra advantage of playing different formations within a match.
Such a luxury has tempted Arsenal and Arteta to pay heavily for him and reportedly he is also on a very high wage too in the region if 330k£ per week which is massive for an Arsenal player so there must be something that Arteta has seen in him .
How he will fare for Arsenal will be very interesting thing to see.

So they have identified West Ham United captain Declan Rice to be the main man for them and although he has only one year left on his current contract he wont come in cheaply as a fee in the region of 105m £ is quoted and although there has been a formal agreement reached between Arsenal and West Ham the issue is with the structure of payments as West Ham wants to get it done quickly so this is delaying the deal although a deal is expected to be stucked by Monday.
Declan Rice has started as a center back before moving to midfield an area where he is simply one of the best in his role in Premier League that's why Arsenal are so much desperate to sign him and he was the one who costed them dearly in the title tilt last season so they wants to get this deal over the line soon

But he has been rated very highly as he is versatile too although his primary position is a center back and it was William Saliba's injury last season that proved too hard to Arsenal to bear so that's why Arteta want to cover all his basis this time around as he has gone for a center back early in the window.
Although he has some shortcomings as he is not so good arially but as we have seen with Lisandro Martinez that he can be successful like him despite of short height.
He is expected to cost Arsenal around 37m £.
