Arsenal ‘very confident’ of double deal
Arsenal are reportedly ‘very confident’ they will be able to secure a double transfer deal for Declan Rice and Kai Havertz.
Sky Sports Germany claim the two deals are ‘very advanced’.
Journalist Florian Plettenberg wrote on Twitter: “News #Havertz: Been told Arsenal is very confident to sign both: Rice & Havertz! Despite of the fact that Chelsea has rejected the first offer. Arteta is pushing for Havertz!”
He added: “Arsenal is planning the next steps. Bayern‘s next transfer meeting scheduled next week.”
Arsenal transfer strategy unveiled
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has lifted the lid on Arsenal’s transfer strategy.
“For Arsenal, it is always important in the line of strategy. They go for the player if they are 100% convinced. Otherwise, they prefer to wait,” he told GIVEMESPORT.
“Look at Raphinha, for example. Last summer, they wanted Raphinha but had no chance to agree on a fee for him.
“So, they decided to wait until January to sign any winger in Trossard. So, this is why, for Arsenal, it’s important to find the right player in the right position.”
