- I keep meaning to say goodbye to the WC, and then up pops another bit
The number of players that Arsenal are said to be targetting for possible transfers this summer has now reached 38, with no sign of the number of deals being spotted by transfer websites easing back down. Those included for the first time in this list are listed as “new,” but this does just mean they are new to our list – not that talks haven’t been ongoing for a while.
We still have over a month to go before the close of the window, or door, or porch or whatever aspect of house building the transfer business can be related to and no doubt as with previous years some of these alleged transfers will not happen but will pop up again in the last week or so of the window being open.
Here are some of the most talked about moves so far… atlhough of course most of these have not actually happened, and quite possibly won’t.
We have six new since our last list was created, and eight where there has been an update on the proposed move.
