Arsenal are planning to make full use of the summer to put an end to the disappointments of the 2020-21 season. Also, pre-season training ended with a 1: 2 defeat to the Scottish team Hibernian.
The Gunners need to focus on a few positions on the team immediately, and Mikel Arteta is looking to bolster his squad this summer.
Arsenal are hoping to add a new defender before the start of the new campaign. The Gunners also want to strengthen their midfield in the summer.
In this post, we take a look at Arsenal’s key transfer news for July 17, 2021.
Arsenal have agreed a fee in the region of £ 50million for the England defender
Sky Sports reports. The Gunners identified the Englishman as their main defensive target this summer and have been locked in negotiations with the ‘swings’ for some time.
The London side rejected the initial £ 40m bid and returned with an improved £ 47m bid. But Brighton have also denied this because they are not ready to leave their stars until the player’s assessment is done.
Arsenal finally took the risk and now offered the £ 50million the Tents have accepted. The paperwork still needs to be completed, and White is expected to undergo a medical examination when he returns from vacation on the 26th of this month.
England had a great 2020-21 season with Brighton and its versatility will be the fortune of Mikel Arteta. White was part of the England national team that reached the Euro 2020 final, and his heart went out to the UAE.
The Gunners are offering £ 17m for the French midfielder
Sportsmole via Le 10 Sport. However, Lyon rejected the offer because they want to separate £ 21m from their valuable assets.
There is a feeling already seen about the situation because the Gunners tried to bring the Frenchman to the Emirates in the same way last season, but the Ligue 1 side didn’t match the player’s assessment.
However, with Aouar’s current contract expiring two years later, Les Gones has reduced his price.
Arsenal are looking to bolster their midfield with players such as Granit Haka and Lucas Torrey, who are set to leave the Emirates this summer.
Tottenham are also watching the Frenchman and there could be fierce competition for the Gunners for his signing.
Arsenal are interested in West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper
A tough fight through “Athletic”.
According to reports, the Gunners have sent out a request for the Englishman, who has been highly praised for his performances at the Baggies.
Johnstone’s heroism wasn’t enough to save West Brom from relegation, but he is expected to start fighting for his services this summer. Tottenham and West Ham United are also interested in his services.
Arsenal are looking for a replacement goalkeeper and believe the Englishman would be ideal for the role.
