Three PL clubs in the race, us, Liverpool and Chelsea. Apparently the PL clubs want to act fast on his release clause so his next destination will be decided this month.
Huijsen looked quality at the weekend. If we do sell Kiwior in the summer, he would be a very good replacement and long term successor to Gabriel.
Thought he looked suspect defensively tbh and of course he went on to score.
The vibe Iām getting is that Chelsea and Liverpool are more keen than us, and for good reason tbf.
Theyād both be bringing him in to start for them whereas I donāt think that would be the case, certainly not immediately.
Wasnāt great defensively in Italy. Was always his quality on the ball that stood out but defensively not been a fan of him anytime Iāve seen him.
Which of the two CBs does he start ahead of at Liverpool?
Canāt those cunts Madrid just sign him instead
Heās not better than either of them but Konate has a year left in his deal and apparently heās looking to go.
Between Liverpool and us.
Got a feeling Liverpool will land him.
Weāre signing him because the most Arsenal thing possible is to spend 100m on a DM and CB.
And a goalkeeper, we canāt forget that inevitability
Madrid have apparently entered the market for a CB and LB ahead of the Club World Cup(took them a million injuries ffs).
Wonāt lie, I hope they get this lad. Makes Saliba less of a priority for them.
Yeah that will take the spotlight off Saliba for a while
Hopefully they get him and Konate this summer
Chelsea missing out and Real getting a high potential CB to cool off the Saliba interest is just

Fabrizio tap in.
Tbf, heās been saying for weeks that the kid and his father are desperate to go to Madrid.
This is a Raphinha-esque situation. Now that they know Madrid are looking at CBs this window, theyāll help facilitate the move any way possible. I wouldnāt be shocked if Bournemouth are bullied into accepting a lower fee or with a different structure to his RC.
Damn, so weāre really going for him too.
Thatās Ā£110m spent on Zubimendi en Huysen.. While still needing a center forward, left winger and goalkeeper.
Itās certainly positive that activating his RC isnāt an issue.
Shows thereās definitely money to be spent in this accounting period. I guess we already knew that after that Watkins bid.
Also positive that weāre already deep into our transfer dealings in early May.
Kiwior will leave and Tomoyasu is made out of sugar paper. Huijsen would be a quality signing even if not in a priority area.
We are ready to spend £50m on another left footed defender?!
We have a £500m summer budget then, I assume? Or we are planning to sell Calafiori and Kiwi?
Btw, only now I see heās spanish(?!?) lol
Heās right footed.
