It’s a very exciting summer transfer window at Arsenal FC, with plenty of comings and goings. A new era has begun under recently minted manager Unai Emery, who continues making over the north London side in his vision.
Let’s take a spin through the latest transfer rumors and gossip making the rounds on the internet today. As always, until the deal is official, take transfer rumors with a grain of salt.
Jack Wilshere has officially left the club, and is now available on a free transfer. He’s reportedly very close to finalizing a deal that will allow him to stay in London, as a move to West Ham United appears imminent.
“Sky sources understand Wilshere is expected to complete the formalities on a switch to West Ham in the coming days.”
The Sky report also mentions another addition for the Hammers- Borussia Dortmund’s Andriy Yarmolenko, a 28-year-old winger. Everton and Newcastle United are also reportedly interested in Wilshere.
Hirving “Chucky” Lozano is essentially the next big thing among Mexican attacking players. Perhaps one day he’ll surpass the achievements of Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez. Lozano had a stellar World Cup and that reportedly has him on the radar of several big clubs, including Barcelona and Arsenal, according to Transfer Market Web.
The 23-year-old who plies his trade with PSV Eindhoven was also linked to Manchester United a couple summers ago, with some reports even reviving Old Trafford interest this summer.
However, some of those reports have been kind of questionable to say the least.
Finally, Senegal and Torino star M’Baye Niang is also being linked to Arsenal.
–ESPN FC, who rank this transfer rumor only 2.1/5 in terms of likelihood, with a 5 being a done deal and a 0 being no chance at all, write that: “Arsenal are reportedly in for him, while Everton are also interested in the player according to Italian newspaper Tuttosport.”
