The transfer value of players, specifically Arsenal, is intensifying in interest with each passing day. Be it the latest news regarding Bellerin and PSG or how much Torreira will leave for. The numbers representing player value being thrown around wildly vary from person to person.

The immediate aftermath of a 2-1 Arsenal win against league holders Liverpool is a joyous one.

Partey Deal Not Happening

News broke today that Arsenal’s pursuit of Thomas Partey has taken a negative turn. According to Arseblog, Partey has wage demands which are a stumbling block for The Gunners. His expectations exceed £200,000 a week.

Major Recruitment

Arsenal’s recruitment team have been more active in the transfer market than many people are aware of. The club has moved to make 5 signings so far including the most notable transfer of Willian.

With the news that Gabriel Magalhaes is inching ever closer to the Arsenal, the recruitment of The Gunners has been put into sharp focus. Raul Sanhelli’s departure threw up a plethora of questions.

Ready-made Arsenal players

If Arsenal were to get this more wrong than right, I still think we would do better next season as Arteta’s biggest strength is arguably improving all the players at his disposal.

It is hard to comprehend the amount of information I have taken in over the last 18 hours. Yesterday afternoon’s statement from the Arsenal left me feeling bemused and slightly irritated.

Well, it would not be summer without dramatic news to tackle in the Arsenal universe.
