Arsenal are set to lose a star just 12 months on from him committing to Gunners.
Arsenal have recently taken advantage of signing players from London rivals. Now, they’re going to lose a star to another capital club.
The Gunners signed the likes of Declan Rice from West Ham United and Kai Havertz from Chelsea 12 months ago, but this summer, there’s a focus on selling as much as there is buying. Reports suggest Mikel Arteta’s squad needs trimming, with as many as nine first-team players heading for the exit door.
Now, the wheels are in motion over one deal from Arsenal to another London club. The player in question has not long committed himself to the Gunners, either.
The 24-year-old was extremely highly-rated during his footballing education, too. Nagelsmann said that his potential was on a level with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, while Arteta has always kept faith in the player, bringing him on in 2023’s home match against Bournemouth to score an iconic winner.
“Crystal Palace are still in contact with him and are hoping they can spring a hijack, but sources have confirmed to TEAMtalk that West Ham are in the driving seat and pushing to get a deal completed by the end of this week,” the report states. Palace are in the market for a wide option following the departure of Michael Olise.
