Transfer chart reaches 110 played tipped to be coming to Arsenal!

The Slavery Files


Uefa has suggested that the transfer window should close on October 5 and not at the end of August as planned, because of the coronavirus pandemic.

They have also said that next season’s European competitions should start in the week beginning October 19.

This could mean we see the all time number of nutcase transfer rumours coming through this season, as the list of players tipped to be coming to Arsenal this summer has now reached 110.  Given that the window has only just opened this is an amazing number, and it seems certain that this summer is going to give us the all time record number of transfer rumours of any season.  Unless of course the inventors of these stories run out of names.

We have five new names to add to the list today, and 11 players of whom there is more information since the last chart was published.

Here’s the list…
