Arsenal have opened talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a deal to sign Fabian Ruiz – and with a transfer expert revealing exactly how a move can be financed and with another club-record deal with Fulham edging ever closer towards the finishing line.
The Gunners have finished second in the last two Premier League seasons and hope to strengthen their squad this summer to enable them to take that extra step. And while Mikel Arteta’s side are yet to add any new signings to their ranks, work is very much underway at Arsenal to add that additional quality to their ranks.
The first of those deals – for Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori – is expected to be formally announced in due course with the Gunners finally agreeing on a fee with the Serie A side worth a total of €50m (£42.1m).
Indeed, going into the summer window, Arsenal had three main priorities, with a left-sided centre-half the first of those and soon to be fixed by the Italy star.
