Eberechi Eze to Arsenal reality clearer as Andrea Berta handed new £40m transfer mission

All the latest from football.london on the Arsenal transfer situation regarding outgoings and a potential move for Eberechi Eze

After losing back-to-back pre-season fixtures, Arsenal and Mikel Arteta are facing what might be premature but genuine pressure and concern from supporters. There is a sense that the team is not yet ready for the Premier League season, despite the trip to Old Trafford being one more friendly and just over a week away.

Arteta was critical after the game of the side’s efficiency in the final third, and there were further defensive errors, which have been an issue throughout the summer. There have definitely been positives in the form of Max Dowman, Martin Zubimendi, Martin Odegaard’s sharpness and the integration of so many new signings.

Andrea Berta has been excellent for the club this summer, but football.london understands that discussions are under way regarding several players leaving the club. While the Gunners hope to field interest for others, too.

Stuttgart are in talks with the Gunners about a move for Fabio Vieira following Enzo Millot’s expected exit. Arsenal want to recoup as much of the £34million they paid as possible, but might struggle to get much over half the former price tag, and a £20million deal would be seen as a successful sale.

Reiss Nelson is also in discussions over a move to Fulham. Arsenal would primarily want a permanent exit but the West London side, conscious of the player’s injury record, would prefer a loan with discussions perhaps meeting somewhere in the middle.
