According to media reports, North London giants Arsenal are keen to seal a £75m triple swoop before the commencement of the FIFA World Cup this summer.
Arsenal want Trio
talkSPORT is reporting that Arsenal are eyeing summer moves for Dortmund defender Sokraits Papasthathopolous, Freiburg star Caglar Soyuncu and Bayer Leverkusen safe hand Bernd Leno.
The same report says that Arsenal are aiming to seal the deals as fast as possible and that the moves could even be sealed before the Gunners appoint a new manager.
As per the same report, Arsenal’s Director of recruitment Sven Mislintat has been handed the opportunity to push through the transfer deals because Wenger’s replacement has not been appointed yet.
Recruitment Director knows trio
The same article states that Mislintat knows the three transfer targets well from his spell as Dortmund’s chief scout.
The article suggests that the Gunners are keen to get the transfer deals completed before the window opens officially on 1 June across Europe.
However, it is also claimed that official confirmation of the recruits may not happen until Arsenal’s new head coach has been confirmed.
Arsenal are looking for another manager after Arsene Wenger stepped aside at the end of the campaign after almost 22 years at the club.
