Arsenal’s 2017/18 business has been about offloading the deadwood rather than bringing in talent.
In total, Arsenal have only spent just under £50m on new players this season. In contrast, we’ve made £95m shipping out players we don’t want.
The Gunners have signed three players; two in the summer and one in January (so far). We’ve also offloaded SEVEN with more likely to leave come June.
Here’s how Arsenal’s transfer business for 2017/18 looks:
TBC
Alexis Sanchez – Out
The Chilean only has six months left on his contract with Arsenal and is expected to complete his move to Manchester United soon.
The 29-year-old has reportedly signed a four-and-a-half year deal, which will see him earn £14m-per-year after tax.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan – In
Mkhitaryan will almost certainly be part of the swap deal for Alexis.
Arsenal almost signed him for £25m in 2016 before United snapped him up instead.
