Arsenal are now focused on player exits and will then concentrate – in the next few weeks of the transfer market – on landing a new striker, which has always been a great desire for Mikel Arteta.
After the arrival of Riccardo Calafiori – with an announcement expected by Monday – CaughtOffside sources Arsenal that the Gunners will prioritise the possible departures of Jakub Kiwior, Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah and Emile Smith Rowe.
Arsenal are getting busy in the transfer market
For Kiwior, Inter remain in the race despite a failed initial approach. The Italian giants are going to have to improve their proposal in terms of the conditions and type of purchase in order to progress in negotiations for the former Spezia defender.
Leicester are increasing the pressure on Reiss Nelson as the Foxes anticipate there will be competition for the winger, given the strong interest shown, above all, by Everton.
Eddie Nketiah’s exit is almost certain, however, Marseille must also reformulate a new proposal in order to reach the finish line.
Unless there are any sensational 11th hour twists, the French club will put €30m on the table (€27m down + €3m add-ons).
Fulham are working to complete the final details of a transfer for Emile Smith Rowe and the green light for the English player may arrive over the weekend.
Finally, Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres is becoming a more concrete option for the North Londoners.
A meeting with the Portuguese giants is expected as soon as the scheduled exits are finalised.
