They specifically target young players. They have always adhered to this model and have not signed players over the age of 23.Some fees seem a bit high-namely Aaron Ramsdale with Ben White -But the Gunners hope that over time, they will be rewarded after spending the club’s record £142 million transfer window.
However, it is difficult for Arsenal to let players leave, which is a problem for them throughout the transfer window. The transfer market has been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has damaged the club’s financial situation, but it will not help.
However, the club still expects to transfer more players or charge higher fees for those who leave. They are due at least next summer, when Konstantinos Mavropanos and Matteo Guendouzi will make their loans permanent. The club hopes that Lucas Torreira will also be impressed to ensure a permanent transfer to Florence.
