Shkodran Mustafi And Lucas Perez: Arsene Wenger Confirms Transfers To Arsenal by ckiel: 5:02pm On Aug 28, 2016 |
Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Arsenal have
signed Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi and
Spanish striker Lucas Perez.
The pair are set to cost Arsenal around £52m - taking
the club's summer spending to almost £100m - and
Wenger says he expects no more transfers before
Wednesday's deadline.
"We have bought two players, Mustafi and Perez. We
had to work very hard to get signings done," he said.
"We have no plans for anyone else now."
Match of the Day pundit Ruud Gullit seemed
unimpressed at the Gunners making the signings "so
late" in the window.
"Everybody has already bought their main players.
Arsenal did this with Per Mertesacker a few years
ago," he said.
"We need to see how these players cope in the
Premier League. How will they adapt? It will take
some time."
Former Everton centre-back Mustafi, 24, is set to sign
a five-year contract from Valencia, for a fee in excess
of £35m.
Arsenal had already agreed to meet a 20m euro
(£17.1m) clause to sign Deportivo La Coruna forward
Perez, 27, who scored 17 goals in 37 games last
season.
They have already added midfielders Granit Xhaka
and Kelechi Nwakali, defender Rob Holding and
forward Takuma Asano, 21, to their squad.
Everton were closing in on Perez before Arsenal
declared their interest.
Japanese striker Asano, who joined from Sanfrecce
Hiroshima in July, will join Bundesliga side Stuttgart
on a season-long loan. |
