Hi Ed. Thank you for the list of outgoings. Would you be able to give us a list of the potential incomings for January/ Summer please.

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal will keep looking and don't expect too much in January - and remember the club have already gambled a lot of future income away, so funds will be very thin on the ground:

Omar Rekik (CB) youngster joining from Hertha Berlin - I would think a loan is likely.
Dominik Szoboszlai (LM/CM) Moving elsewher.
Fabio Vieira (RM/CM) an ex Arsenal player recommended FV who would likely be open to a move if Arsenal were to find the required €30M.
Joan Jordan (CM) Another midfield option - but not cheap.
Berkay Ozcan (CM) Only moved in the summer but Arsenal have asked if Basaksehir would be open to making a profit on the player. Apparently not - a missed opportunity in the summer.
Julian Brandt (AM) again a player being considered by Arsenal. He would be a reasonable price and would be an Oezil replacement.
Leon Bailey (LW/RW) A player who has had his mojo drifting away and Bayer Leverkusen are open to moving on this winter. Spurs are keen but want the price to drop further. Prior interest of Everton and Leeds has drifted away - Everton already being over loaded with players who are predominently LW and Leeds have preferred options. Arsenal may offer an option.
Donyell Malen (F) Arsenal want to resign the player to replace Lacazette. Borussia Dortmund have him on their list of Sancho replacements. Won't return to Arsenal.
Maxi Gomez (S) Financial issues at Valencia mean that they will listen to offers for players but want to hold on to Gaya whilst they have told interested sides that neither Carlos Soler or Maxi Gomez would be sold cheaply. I am not aware of any approach by Arsenal who would see him as a replacement for Lacazette perhaps. Whilst his price is high, his return in terms of goals is not great. Very unlikely.

Thanks Ed. Any idea if the Rekik guy is good? Also Ed, any idea if Saliba is good?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Saliba is seen as a very good player by those in the French game. Arsenal has a whole bunch of unhappy players - he as you can expect is one. Arsenal have wasted a chunk of his career. Omar Rekik has a good reputation as a player but there have been issues (the same issue) at Feyenoord, PSV, Manchester City and Marseille where he has spent time as a youngster. The lady from Marseille made it clear tehy were happy to let him move on. Not ready for the first team and probably more CB fodder for Arsenal.}
