Arsenal ‘On Verge’ Of Sealing £31m Double Swoop – Report

By on January 7, 2015

The transfer rumour mill is now in full swing and it appears Arsenal could be close to doing their first bits of business as reports claim that we’re on the verge of completing a double swoop for Loic Perrin and William Carvalho.

Arsene Wenger is almost certain to bring in another defender this month and Perrin has emerged as the most likely candidate with widespread reports in recent days suggesting that we’re in talks with Saint-Etienne over a possible £6m deal.

Now, the Daily Star are claiming that a deal for the 29-year-old is almost complete and the Frenchman will come in to provide an experienced alternative to Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny at the back.

In what would be an exciting double swoop, the newspaper also states that we’re close to agreeing a deal for Sporting Lisbon defensive midfielder William Carvalho.

The Portuguese international has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent transfer windows but reports last month suggested that Arsene had renewed his interest after Lisbon were knocked out of the Champions League.

Sporting have always maintained they wanted the full value of Carvalho’s buy out clause – believed to be £37m – but it’s understood Arsenal are hopeful of sealing a deal closer to £25m now that they have failed to qualify for the knockout stages in Europe.

It remains to be seen how much truth there is behind the Daily Star’s report but I’d be one happy Gooner if we did manage to sign Carvalho and Perrin this month.

They would fill two problem areas for us and we’d finally have some real quality and depth at centre-back and in defensive midfield, so fingers crossed we can get these deals over the line….

    let me give the writer of this blog a it of advice, I worked at the star for 5 years and can tell you they know nothing about sport, I will be absolutely astonished if this rumour is true, as all there rumours are never true unless they copy it from another source.

    Bonaroca:- I will repeat what I have said that I will believe that Mr Wenger signed a top player particularly the one that has been mentioned time and time again is when I see him with an Arsenal Shirt being photographed at the Emirate Staduim with the Manager end of story.

    Why is Wenger buying a 29 year old defender from France who hasn’t been good enough to get a cap for his National team? Wenger really is the epitome of stupidity and a tight fisted parasite.

    If this is true which I don’t truly believe as of yet it would be a good change from Wengers normal signings. Much needed.
