Arsenal might benefit from Saudi Arabia’s favour in order to raise 130 million pounds and get rid of four stars.In order to strengthen Mikel Arteta’s squad, Arsenal may be looking to achieve the same level of success as Liverpool in terms of transfer sales to Saudi Arabia.
As a result of Liverpool’s recent sale of both their captain Jordan Henderson and their midfield partner Fabinho to the Middle East, the Reds have benefited to the tune of £52 million from Saudi Arabia. This is something that the Reds’ competitors, including Arsenal, will most likely have been envious of.
Despite the fact that both players are getting close to the end of their careers, they were still able to bring in a significant amount of money, which Jurgen Klopp will be able to incorporate back into his team. Due to the fact that the Gunners have already spent £200 million, it is quite possible that they will be have to sell some of their less important players before they can make any other purchases this summer.
and Express Sport has taken a look at four players who Mikel Arteta and Edu will do their best to convince Saudi Arabia to increase their interest in and bring in a total of £130 million dollars.
Since Arteta has been with the club for a longer period of time, Oleksandr Zinchenko has frequently been given preference at left back, which has resulted in Kieran Tierney appearing to fall further down the pecking order. The quality of the Scot has been readily apparent; however, because his Spanish manager favours a defender who is more at ease switching positions and playing in the middle of the pitch, there is the possibility that Tierney will be given more regular playing time elsewhere due to this preference.
The likes of Newcastle and Celtic have been mentioned, but neither of them has been able to spend the thirty million pounds that is being asked for. To Saudi teams, on the other hand, that fee would be nothing more than a drop in the ocean. Saudi teams have no problem spending a significant amount of money on well-established stars like Tierney.
As a result of his inability to make a lasting impression on Arteta, Albert Sambi Lokonga was not included in the United States pre-season tour squad. He is also planning to leave the Emirates this summer, and Burnley is the most likely destination for him to meet up with Vincent Kompany, his former Anderlecht manager.
Nevertheless, it is not yet clear whether Arsenal intend to receive a fee for the young Belgian player. This is because there is a lack of clarity regarding whether a deal that would bring Lokonga to Turf Moor would be a loan or a permanent transfer.
By assisting Arsenal in recouping the majority of the £15 million that was spent on him in 2021, Saudi teams could help Arsenal blow Burnley out of the water. Arsenal reportedly rejected a £7 million offer from Monaco for Lokonga in January, but a fee that is closer to £10 million could be enough to convince them to part with the 23-year-old player.
