Sacha Boey expresses preference for Arsenal move

Galatasaray’s right-back Sacha Boey, who has been on Arsenal’s radar for some time, is reportedly leaning towards a move to the Premier League title favourites.

According to the  press, the Gunners have kept a close eye on the talented defender, sending scouts to assess his performance in a recent match against Adana Demirspor.

Scouting reports encourage Arsenal pursuit

The Arsenal scouting team reportedly returned with positive reports on Boey’s skills, urging the club to make a move for the player.

Galatasaray are expected to ask for a transfer fee of no less than €15m for their promising right-back.

Boey’s career aspirations

Boey recently spoke to the French press about his desire for a new chapter in his career, while emphasising the need to wait until the end of the season.

He stated, “It’s time to take a new step in my career, but we have to wait for the end of the season. We’ll see what happens then.”

AC Milan also in the mix

Italian powerhouse AC Milan are also interested in acquiring Boey, but it has been suggested that the young footballer would prefer a move to Arsenal if faced with a choice between the two clubs.
