So why did you choose Arsenal, Dani?

"I knew I had the confidence of the coach, which was very important for me from the start. I was aware of the responsibility that wearing this shirt entails and it was a tremendously proud moment when I decided to join Arsenal."

William Saliba:

"Well, first of all, it's a massive pleasure to sign for a really, really big English club. This is the biggest club in England for me, so it was an easy decision. I didn't think twice about signing here, so I'm really happy." #AFC #Arsenal

 

[Aaron Arsenal]

Saliba on why he chose Arsenal over Spurs:

"Well, the history, the badge... since I was little, I've been watching Arsenal play in the Champions League and so on, and there are a lot of French players who have come through here. So that really helped me to make my mind up." #afc

 

[Aaron Arsenal]

William Saliba:

"I spoke to Matteo [Guendouzi]. I even bumped into him at a funfair in Paris, and that's where I told him that Arsenal wanted to sign me! He gently advised me to come here and explained what it was like." #AFC

 

[Aaron Arsenal]

Emery on Saliba:

"We’re delighted William is joining us. Many teams wanted him but he decided he wanted to come to us & be part of our future. He will stay in France next season for more experience & then we look forward to him joining our group" #Arsenal

 

[Aaron Arsenal]

Saliba on why he wanted one more year at ASSE:

"Well, it was important first of all because I wanted to prove myself for another year at ASSE, before I come to try and establish myself here at Arsenal. This is a big club, and when you come here, you need to be ready." #afc

"I hope to learn from Rob Holding. He is one of the most talented defenders in the world. I look forward to pairing with him next season. Really excited."

 

[Aaron Arsenal]

Great signings - still need a CB who can play this season, an out and out wing player and a LB ( wouldn't mind a RB who can deputize for Hector)

Kwa timu za EPL tunaambiwa Nicolas Pepe bei yake £70-80m

Ila huko Italy wanataka kumuuza kwa £45m

Nicolas Pepe's representatives have held talks with Napoli today over a possible £45million switch. Clubs including AFC, LFC etc have shown interest. However, neither side has made a firm move for Pepe and he is now likely to move to Napoli, if a deal can be struck. [@MailSport]

William Saliba talking to Arsenal:

“Yes it’s true, I got an offer from Tottenham. But to be honest, I never knew who they were until Tanguy told me he was signing for them. Arsenal are the biggest club in England and signing for them was my only intention“.

 

[Aaron Arsenal]

I’m afraid... Arsène Wenger has done it again! This shows that he was the architect of the love that many children have for @arsenal

The Gunners see the Ivorian as their top target this summer.
United have a 20% sell-on fee, causing Palace to overvalue the winger.
Their current asking price is £80 million.
According to the Evening Standard, Manchester United are behind the sky-high price of Wilfried Zaha.
When the Red Devils sold the winger back to Crystal Palace in 2015, they inserted a 20% sell-on fee as Palace had little cash at the time.
Now, the club wants to raise in excess of £60 million for the 26-year-old but is forced to increase it's evaluation to £80 million due to the clause.
If Palace's asking price is met, United would get a hefty £16 million paycheck.

Previously, reports claimed that Arsenal were ready to offer around £55 million plus a player on loan, which is just short of the £60 million Palace want to receive.
Do you think Zaha is worth £80 million?
