Karim Benzema to Chelsea, Varane to Manchester United and more: Premier League transfer news – 6 February 2018

#3 Arsenal mania

Rugani is a great talent

Woah, it seems like the Manchester madness has some genuine competition now. After the transfer window slammed shut, Arsene Wenger confessed that his defence is still weak but also added that Arsenal don’t have the financial muscle to compete with the Manchester clubs.

It seems like he was speaking the truth as the agent of Juventus defender, Daniele Rugani, told Radio Sportiva—via Sportsmole—that his client has attracted the interest of Arsenal.

"Daniele's doing well, I'm happy for him," said agent Davide Torchia.

"Arsenal? They didn't launch any assaults for him. They expressed a liking for him, but we have respect for Juventus."

Meanwhile, Mirror claims that Arsenal are expecting a tough time with regards to Aaron Ramsey’s contract negotiations due to the fact that the midfielder might want a huge hike in wages because of the amount of money Mesut Ozil, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are earning at the club now.
