We’re still in for Jorrel Hato. Looks a huge talent, but wouldn’t want us spending more than £40m on him at best.
Spanish media outlet claiminmg Arsenal want to sign Frankie De Jong. https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/3-fichajes-quiere-arsenal-verano-20240511.html
And most British outlets saying Isak is our NO.1 target this summer. ------------------------Raya------------------------- -White-----Saliba---------Gabriel------Timber- ------Odegaard----Rice----DeJong------------- --Saka---------------Isak---------------Martinelli-- Bench: Havertz, Jesus, Zinchenko, Trossard, Jorginho/Partey, Kiwior, Ramsdale. Jeez - that's a strong squad.
Be interesting to know what happens with Jesus & Ramsdale this Summer. Ornstein said (Jesus) his last operation didn't workout soo well and he's basically played in pain this Season. Which might explain some of the performances. I suppose if we sell Nketiah and possibly Nelson then Jesus can still be a useful squad player. I cant see Arsenal letting Ramsdale go for cheap - I suppose Newcastle and United would both be decent fits. (kinda hope we keep him though)
Kinda sad the Season's over - just gonna keep playing fantasy football util the Euros kick-off. Newcastle asking for £150m for Isak apparently. https://metro.co.uk/2024/05/23/newc...nder-isak-transfer-20894619/?ito=newsnow-feed I doubt we would ever go that high for a player. Gyokeres would be my second choice - asking price is around £89m (rumoured) Gyokeres Olise/Williams Gumaraes/Douglas Luiz Thats a title winning side IMO. ------------------------Raya------------------------- -White-----Saliba---------Gabriel------Timber- ------Odegaard----Rice----Guimaraes---------- --Saka-------------Gyokeres----------Martinelli-- Bench (out of) : Havertz, Jesus, Zinchenko, Trossard, Jorginho, Kiwior, Olise, Smith-Rowe, Ramsdale. Sell: Lokonga, Nketiah, Nelson, Tavares, Partey, Viera.
Seems like a decent second choice GK when he's fit, but I've just seen his injury/absence record - we absolutely need to steer clear from him.
I would have liked to have kept him because he's a top talent. But we simply can't rely on a guy who's injured 3/4 of the time. Sell for £30m+ and invest into a replacement Reading that Arteta and Edu have already identified the players they want and will try and get the transfer business done early in the window.
