Arsenal have reportedly identified a replacement for defender Gabriel Magalhaes as they plot a £100 million transfer masterplan.
After missing out on the Premier League title last season, Arsenal have spent big during the summer transfer window.
So far, the Gunners have brought in the likes of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber and David Raya.
Over the last few weeks, defender Gabriel has been linked with a move away from the Emirates, with clubs in the Saudi Professional League said to be interested in the 25-year-old.According to Daily Mail, Arsenal are interested in signing Marc Guehi as a replacement for Gabriel.
It has been claimed that if Mikel Arteta manages to bring the Crystal Palace man to the club, he will then sanction the sale of Gabriel.
Furthermore, the Gunners are looking to recoup £100 million from player sales before the summer transfer window slams shut next week.
It has been reported that Arsenal would like to make £50 million by selling striker Folarin Balogun, who has been linked with the likes of Monaco, Inter Milan, Chelse and Tottenham Hotspur.Apart from Balogun and Gabriel, the likes of Kieran Tierney, Rob Holding, Nuno Tavares, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Nicolas Pepe could all be sold before deadline day.After leaving Gabriel out of his starting eleven for Arsenal’s first two matches of the season, manager Arteta said: “It’s about the games we were expecting, that I was expecting, and how I wanted to defend and attack and what I believed was the best thing.
“He’s played in both games, he helped us to win both games for different reasons. He was really good today, he absolutely dominated the box when he came on and he’s going to play a lot of games. But that’s the decision sometimes.”
Arsenal will be back in Premier League action this weekend as they take on London rivals Fulham on Saturday.
