ARSENAL ARE READY TO OFFER £40M FOR EVERTON SOARES

The Arsenal links with Everton Soares have been weird. Although the story has been hammered hard in the media, Arsenal have reportedly denied they are even interested in the player but those denials have largely been ignored.


With the club about to splash £72m on a right winger in Nicolas Pepe, you do have to wonder how they could afford a €40m bid for a left winger in Soares but that’s what the media in Brazil report Gremio expect.

Lance in Brazil write, “Now, the latest information provided by the portal UOL Esporteis that Arsenal intends to offer Gremio a proposal that would be at the level expected by the gaucho club: 40 million euros ($ 168.7 million).

“Besides the English, who also intends to make an investment with this amount is Napoli, from Italy. However, the Old South Boot club is now more of a “second choice” if the deal with the London team is unsuccessful.”

They also report Gremio’s vice president, Duda Kroeff saying, “Every day we have some sign that some proposal will come.

“But so far we have none. The director doesn’t have much work with him (Everton). He is a player and an excellent boy. A wonderful person. And the manager has been behaving very well.

“He is calm. Like every player, he has a dream of playing in Europe, but he is always willing and very fond of wearing the Grêmio shirt. In no hurry to leave.”

Any deal seems complicated by Soares’ ownership. His club only own 50% of him with 30% in the hands of ‘businessman and former player’ Gimar Veloz as his manager. A further 10% is owned by Celso Riog, another ‘businessman’ while the remaining 10% is owned by Fortaleza, one of Soares’s previous clubs.

Are Arsenal in for him? Media reports would have you believe they are but that means little if this window has taught us anything.

As we said when the Arsenal denials first came to light, it does seem as if his club are pushing a move to Europe in the hope of landing a lot of cash. This is not the first time someone at Gremio has stressed Everton’s desire to play in Europe.

What that means for Arsenal’s alleged interest remains to be seen.

Thankfully, there isn’t long left in the window for us to find out one way or the other

Kabla dirisha halijafungwa Emery ameahid kuongeza CB na winger ,

This transfer window:
£14.5m for Pepe
£3m for Ceballos
£3m for Saliba
£6m for Martinelli

Arsenal have only spent £26.5mil of their £45mil budget, because - like phone contracts - players are bought in installments these days.
 
Nicolas Pepe to Arsenal. Done deal.

Pepe will sign a 5-year contract worth around £150k pw. Official announcement expected by Friday.

The total fee is £72mil but Arsenal will pay just £20mil up front, therefore leaving more money to try close the signing of Kieran Tierney. #AFC
 
Lacazette on yesterday's defeat: "I only saw the second half but, from what I have heard, we missed quite a lot of chances & Lyon were ruthless. It is a win for them, good for them. We are feeling good, even though we lost, we remain confident for what is to come" #Arsenal https://t.co/5JBQwLDe9Z

Kocha Jana ameahid kuleta CB mmoja
 
Nicolas Pépé had a very detailed list of criteria that he wanted his next destination to fulfil including that the accompanying full-back on his flank regularly makes dummy overlapping runs.
 
Jose Fonte (Lille captain) on Pepe:

“He’s always wanted to play in the Premier League, we used to chat in the dressing room. I’m happy for him if it happens, the Premier League is the best league in the world, Arsenal is a great club. I am sure he will enjoy London.”
