Following Arsenal’s recent win against Wolves, there has been a transfer decision regarding a certain defender. The manager explained: “Things are happening…so we decided not to include him in the squad.” This statement implies that the Englishman in question was available for selection, but the club opted not to use him. Furthermore, the manager disclosed: “There’s interest…nothing’s closed yet.” This could be seen as a subtle indication of Al Ahli’s interest in the defender, especially after their £35 million bid was rejected. The club is currently awaiting the player’s decision, with reports indicating that he is their number one target and negotiations are ongoing.
On a different note, it has been reported that Arsenal will be parting ways with a ‘powerful and technical’ youth product. Despite the departure of this player, the team managed to secure a combined 21 goals and nine assists last season, ultimately avoiding relegation by a comfortable 13-point margin. However, without the former Arsenal target, they may struggle to push for a top-half finish in the upcoming season.
