Arsenal transfer Merry-Go-Round
January 31, 2018It is exciting to witness the drama the last day of the transfer window brings; the suspense, intrigue and the charades that envelopes it.
Teams have strengthened their squad by adding one or two
Players this winter. We've seen Coutinho move from Liverpool to Barcelona, Van Dijk move from Southampton to
Liverpool, Aymeric Laporte from
Athletico Bilbao to Man City, Emerson
from Roma to Chelsea, Ahmed Musa
from Leicester to CSKA Moscow, amongst several others. We will surely be seeing
some new signings today being the last day of the transfer window.The latest from Arsenal is the Merry-Go-Round that surrounds their transfer deadline.
Having already parted ways with Theo Walcott and Alexis Sanchez to Everton and Man United respectively, they needed to reinforce. Although, Mkhitaryan, Man United out of favour Midfielder, was a part of the deal (Sanchez), Arsené Wenger still needed to seek for a like to like Alexis's type of Player, who he believed to be Aubameyang.
No doubt about this, that the Gabonese Born Striker who plights his football in Dortmund, will fill the vacuum Alexis has left.
Now, here is the twist;
Dortmund is said to be ready to do Business with Arsenal for Aubameyang only if they get a replacement. They have seen a replacement in Chelsea's Batshuayi. Chelsea who is willing to loan out Batshuayi wants a replacement and they see Arsenal's Giroud as one who can fill the mould of what they are looking for.
Wenger on the other hand, doesn't want Giroud to leave, or even to a rival team (Chelsea). He would prefer to loan/ sell him abroad but, it is hard to see how he can stay once Aubameyang is confirmed (which looks like the case). The Player (Giroud) on the other hand is keen on Chelsea move.
Aubameyang medicals has been penciled for today (transfer deadline day).It is said that Batshuayi is set to be loaned to Dortmund, while Giroud to Chelsea look sealed for a region of £18-£20m.
We look forward to seeing the dramatic new twist this brings, as we countdown to the Deadline Day.
