Arsenal transfer news – Mikel Arteta demands club to sign Ferland Mendy
According to Football365, Ferland Mendy has emerged as the latest target for Arsenal, with Mikel Arteta desperate to sign him. The report claims that Real Madrid are willing to let him leave and Arsenal have “demanded a price” from Real Madrid for their defender. The deal is likened to that of Martin Odegaard some time ago, where Arsenal will capitalise from a player on the brink of his Los Blancos career.
Arsenal transfer news – MAJOR development in Declan Rice chase
According to breaking news from the Daily Telegraph, Arsenal are on the brink of signing Declan Rice in what is an impossible-to-resist offer for all parties involved.
The report claims that Stan Kroenke wants to make Declan Rice the joint highest earner at the club, alongside Bukayo Saka on £300,000 per week. Furthermore, the transfer fee could set Arsenal back around £92m, essentially impossible for West Ham to say no to.
It’s big money, sure, but it’s not silly money. It’s not the type of silly fee that Arsenal threw at Nicolas Pepe some seasons ago – they actually need Declan Rice, and he’d make them challenge for the title again next season.
Arsenal transfer news – Third contract offer for Reiss Nelson
According to the latest from CBS, Arsenal have tabled a third and seemingly final offer to Reiss Nelson. With his contract running out at the end of this season, it’s likely that his important last-minute goal against Bournemouth earlier in the season won’t have won his beloved boyhood club the Premier League.
