Arsenal boss Unai Emery has been very smart this transfer window

Arsenal have been very busy in the transfer window in terms of both buying and selling players. They let go of two good players in Wilshere and Cazorla and Unai Emery has been pragmatic in the way he managed to replace them, and has still managed to add more depth and steel to his squad.

There are still 8 days to go before the close of the transfer window and by the sound of the rumors surrounding Arsenal, the London club are not yet finished in the transfer market. Here we present you the three possible transfer dealings that could be done by Arsenal by the end of the week.


3. Lucas Perez:

Many Arsenal fans and football fans around the world have literally forgotten that Arsenal had a striker in their squad all this while and he goes by the name of Lucas Perez. He managed 11 starts in his first season at the Emirates stadium and soon faded away.

Lucas Perez spent the whole of last season on loan at Deportivo

He spent the whole of last season on loan at Deportivo La Coruna and managed to start 35 games in the La Liga. He managed 8 goals in that process and while he has shown glimpses of what he is capable of during this loan spell, he has not made a compelling argument as to why Unai Emery should stick with him for one more season.

Fiorentina have come up and asked for the striker and the Arsenal board were more than just happy to negotiate a deal for the Spanish striker. Rumors suggest that Fiorentina have secured the player for a decent fee of £7 million.

2. Chuba Akpom:

Arsenal academy graduate Chuba Akpom has endured a stuttering career at the Emirates stadium. The board have been patient with the striker and have given him ample opportunities and sent him on loan to various teams.

He was sent out on loan to Brentford, Coventry City, Nottingham Forest, Hull City, Brighton and Sint-Truiden and not once has he caught the attention of the Arsenal board. Emery has decided to part with him, and Greek club PAOK have come in search of his signature.

The deal has already been laid out according to rumors and Arsenal have inserted a 30% re-sale clause in his contract. The deal will be completed for just £1 million. He was already spotted at the club's medical center and has already undergone his medical.

1. Aaron Ramsey:

This rumor came as a surprise to many, but as the days go by, there seems a lot of truth to this. Chelsea owner Abrahimovic and new boss Sarri have earmarked Ramsey to be their marquee signing this summer. More than the acquisition of the player, Roman wants to prove something to his London counterpart.

Ramsey has been at Arsenal throughout his career and has been one of the most trusted players at the club. The Welshman added more fuel to these rumors as he claimed that his agent had been talking to some clubs and nothing is certain. Here is what he said:

A deal in the region of 30 million is seemingly on the cards for Chelsea, but it all depends on Arsenal as it is highly unlikely that Ramsey will hand in a transfer request. It is also possible that Arsenal chooses to stick with the player for the last season of his contract and let him go for free.
