Arsenal fans need not worry amid fears their partially agreed move for major signing number three has gone cold, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano revealing the reasons behind the delay.
Sporting director Edu and manager Mikel Arteta have already wrapped up a pair of important signings this summer. David Raya joined in a deal worth £27m after Arsenal activated their option to buy in the former Brentford goalkeeper’s loan deal.
Riccardo Calafiori was next to arrive in a deal worth £42m. The Italy international is expected to play primarily at left-back in what was already the Premier League’s meanest defence last term.
With additions made at goalkeeper and in defence, attention quickly turned to signing a central midfielder and striker.
