Mirror reporting we've almost sealed the deal for those Nigeriam uber kids. Just waiting on medicals/work permits according to Wenger himself. Cost of about £3m which is a lot but they have cracking reviews wherever you look.
I don't know anything about this Yarmolenko guy but three points occur - 1. why can't we ever sign a player (other than Ozil) with an easy to spell name?
and 2. if he's more of a RWF that's being reported then what does this mean for either Theo or Campbell? Or if he's going to be adapted to be a centre forward ala RVP and Henry then obviously he's not going to be an immediate impact player.
3. If we sign this player then I guess we can kiss goodbye to a Cavani/Benzema ect style worldie signing of a striker in a summer.
I've read in some places that he'll be signed in the summer, but some reckon he'll be signed before jan transfer deadline day. It's not the sort of signing that inspires me, but then I don't know much about him...

Wenger said in his press conference that because of the size of the squad there will no more players coming in unless someone is sold
I'm very very excited about the signing of Kelechi Nwakali. His is the complete midfield player. He could go on to become what Diaby was on the way to becoming. Remember Diaby vs Liverpool at Anfield. That is Kelechi's style. I expect him to make quick progress into the first team. He's a special player. Just needs to get settled and get used to life away from home.
Doesn't mean that we won't agree to sign him now and sign him in the summer...
You might be right, it might all be rubbish - like the Higuain and M'Vila stories and it does seem a little bit of a strange signing. But the press seem pretty certain on it
I think Wenger expects Debuchy to leave but as he said in his press conference,'time is getting short'
There's been rumours flying around for awhile, would be nice but I can't see it to be honest, definitely not before the summer anyway
I think the idea is that hed play a deep playing midfielder position like santi
Buying Isco makes perfect sense, especially in Wenger's perspective. We have Arteta and Rosicky leaving in summer and Wilshere is always injuries and has yet to prove himself.
I agree, with Arteta, Flamini and Rosicky most likely moving on in the summer and only El Neny added to the midfield I think we could see an additional midfield option.
Isco is quality and would be a welcome Rosicky replacement.
Elneny is an unknown prospect and has yet to play at the highest level (hopefully he'll do the business). Isco on the other hand is confirmed top quality and would be our second best midfielder behind Ozil.
Yeah I'd be really pleased if we signed Isco. was excited when we got linked to him before he went to Madrid. He's a quality player and he's got the big team experience to go with it. Have bought him on football manager multiple times
