Spy360:
Wenger still dey, Gnabry don go win UCL...

He even did it in Grand style too

Spy360:
Partey is good because of the way Atletico Madrid set up. They play with two DM. Ndidi does that job alone and even helps start up counter attacks. Ndidi is the reason Leicester are where they are today.

Yes and he would be featured alongside Xhaka in our team too.

so, it's more or less a home coming for him

iamoyindamola:
Bro it's a lie, Gabriel waited for United bid that's why there is delay for him to sign.
I still don't trust him until he signs another club can hijack him like willian did to spud

it's not a lie bro. if he had waited for Manchester United bid that is far better than ours, He wouldn't have signed for us with his medical schedule for Tuesday

mostob:
OK..but what are your reasons or lemme say criteria

look, Many People don't realize just how good Partey is.

This guy
1. progresses the ball so well,
2. dribbles too good,
3. great vision,
4. very strong,
5. powerful shot &
6. breaks up play so perfectly.

Box to box, DM, CM, play him anywhere & he'll deliver. Needed at the Red carpet in London as soon as possible

mostob:
Bro... Partey or Ndidi? who will you prefer?

Thomas partey anyday anytime because I watch La Liga too.

so I know both of them inside out

patrickmuf:
That Gabriel looks good.Arteta is making the right moves...

After Gabriel, Partey and Aouar to follow

for the love of Arsenal

Gabriel due to fly in on Monday and hopefully his deal would be wrapped up before our community shield match versus Liverpool

signings blamed for Raul Sanllehi’s Arsenal exit

Date published: Monday 17th August 2020 2:50



Three transfers made by Raul Sanllehi during his time at Arsenal have been questioned over their value for money and reportedly led to his removal as their transfer guru.

The Gunners confirmed the Spaniard’s exit on Saturday from his role as Arsenal’s head of football.

His departure means technical director Edu and manager Mikel Arteta will assume equal say on all Arsenal transfers. The pair have already set to work by confirming the capture of Willian on a free transfer from Chelsea.

Sanllehi’s exit is part of Arsenal’s plans to trim their wage bill after a thorough review of their payroll. A difficult financial year, forced by the global pandemic, appears to have forced their hand.

However, it is understood that Sanllehi’s role at Arsenal had been under review for some time.

According to The Athletic the real reasons for Sanllehi’s departure have been ‘brewing for some time’.

The report ‘has been told the club see this [Sanllehi’s exit] as a way of streamlining their executive model in the light of COVID-19’ after already announcing 55 redundancies.

There was also thought to be ‘unease at Sanllehi’s political positioning’ with his ‘style of management’. That, apparently, did not always going down well with the Arsenal hierarchy.

In terms of recruitment, there was a feeling within the club that the former Barcelona man used his ‘trusted network of intermediaries’ too much. As a result, Arsenal’s scouting and analytics department felt they had been left ‘sidelined’.

And a number of transfers that were overseen by Sanllehi have come under scrutiny.

As per The Athletic, ‘Arsenal exceeded the asking price for Bernd Leno and paid €5million above the buyout clause for Lucas Torreira’.

There’s also been questions raised over the transfer of Nicolas Pepe and whether Arsenal got value for money. The Gunners paid a club-record £72m for the Ivorian last summer. However, he largely struggled to make an impact during his debut season.

The fee has been further highlighted by the fact Pepe was reportedly available for half the amount Arsenal paid 12 months earlier.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 'agrees new Arsenal deal' worth £250,000-a-week

The Gunners captain's future has been the subject of huge speculation as he enters the final year of his current deal - but he is set to sign a lucrative extension at the Emirates


Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has reportedly agreed to a new three-year deal with Arsenal which will see him pocket £250,000-a-week.

The Gunners captain had been linked with a move away from the Emirates as he entered the final year of his existing deal, with Barcelona said to be ready to swoop.

But Aubameyang, 31, now looks set to stay in North London as he commits his future to Mikel Arteta's project on a deal worth £70,000-a-week more than the contract he signed with the club in 2018.

Arteta has been outspoken on how he would like the Gabon star to put pen to paper on an extension with his side and Aubameyang sent fans into frenzy by tweeting the hourglass emoji on Sunday.

Many believed the tweet meant Aubameyang was on the cusp of signing a new deal and the Daily Telegraph reports he is now "extremely close" to doing so.



Aubameyang was Arsenal's top scorer across all competitions last season, netting 29 times and also providing three assists.


Meanwhile, the Gunners are close to securing the services of Lille centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes.




The 22-year-old Brazilian has also been linked with moves to Everton or Napoli, with the latter still hopeful of landing the €30million-rated (£27.15million) man.

Arsenal's negotiations had been led by head of football Raul Sanllehi, but he departed the club last week to leave greater control over transfers in the hands of Arteta and technical director Edu.


It is hoped the talks will not be impacted by Sanllehi's departure as the Gunners aim to land Gabriel, who made 24 appearances to help guide Lille to a fourth-place finish in Ligue 1 last season.

Lille owner Gerard Lopez confirmed the former Brazil U20 international would leave Stade Pierre Mauroy earlier this month, telling BBC Sport : "Gabriel is young, extremely powerful, currently right now probably one of the two most dominant central defenders in the French league.

"The way we work is very simple. We explain to him and his environment, his agent, what we are looking for, and once we get those offers the choice is his, like we did with Nico [Pepe] and Victor [Oshimen].

"We are there now, so we told him: 'Eventually you have to make a decision but we're not pressing you.' I think he will make it this week, or next week at the latest. He is leaving, we've given the OK for that.

"There's a lot of competition. He's a young player so he's got to make sure he makes the right decision. We help him out a little bit so we tell him: 'We think this might be the right manager or club for you.'

"He's got so much talent, he will succeed wherever he goes."Eventually you have to make a decision but we

Arsenal transfer structure outlined by Vinai Venkatesham after Raul Sanllehi sacking
Vinai Venkatesham will be running Arsenal after Raul Sanllehi’s departure, with Edu and Mikel Arteta responsible for transfer activity

Following the departure of Arsenal 's head of football Raul Sanllehi, managing director Vinai Venkatesham has explained the club's new transfer structure.

With Sanllehi gone, Venkatesham has revealed that technical director Edu Gaspar and manager Mikel Arteta will be "responsible" for Arsenal's transfer business going forward.

Speaking to the club's official website, Venkatesham said: "We have, in Edu and Mikel, two individuals who are responsible for our technical plan.

"Of course, [that is] overseen by me and the board, but those two are the experts and they have a very, very clear plan about how they want to rebalance our squad in the short term, in the medium term and in the long term. We're starting to work on that immediately in this transfer window."

He added: "In terms of the board, we work very, very closely. So we're in regular contact with the owners pretty much every single day and we're all here to achieve the same thing and that's to push this football club forward and to get this club back where to where it needs to be.

"We've been active in the market and we saw recently that we brought in Willian from Chelsea, a signing that Edu and Mikel are really, really excited about and I'm sure our fans are excited about as well.

And we'll continue to work hard this transfer window. I think it's going to be a challenging transfer window post-coronavirus, it's going to be unusual and it's going to be challenging, but we'll continue to work hard to deliver on our objectives to strengthen the squad and Edu and Mikel have a really clear plan around how they'd like to do that.

"Our objectives are to be back competing for and winning the biggest trophies in the game and if you're Arsenal Football Club and if you're in the Premier League, there's two trophies that really matter and that's the Premier League trophy and the Champions League trophy.

"That has to be the objectives of a football club like Arsenal. It's not going to be easy, it's not going to be straightforward, there's a whole load of competition but that has to be the objective for this football club."
