Once Gazidis, Sanllehi and Fahmy have done their job to negotiate a deal, it’s up to the manager whether it goes through.

It’s always possible they work on one transfer only for another area of the pitch to become more important. Wenger, therefore, has had the final say on whether Arsenal sign someone until this point and it’s hard to see that changing under a new manager.
