Agent Is In London Finalising Deal With Arsenal

By on August 22, 2014

Italian journalist Gabriele Marcotti claims that the agent of Greek defender Kostas Manolas is in London finalising a move to Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger has confirmed on more than one occasion that he wants to try and strengthen his defensive options before the end of the month following the departure of Thomas Vermaelen to Barcelona.

This led to widespread reports this week have suggesting that Arsenal are close to securing a £6m deal with Olympiakos for highly-rated centre-back Kostas Manolas.

It looks like the move could be edging closer to completion as journalist Gabriele Marcotti claims that the 23-year-old’s agent, Mino Raiola, is not only in London tying up a deal for another client of his – Mario Balotelli – but he’s also taking the opportunity to finalise a deal for Manolas to Arsenal.

Marcotti told talkSPORT:

“Mario Balotelli’s agent, Mino Raiola, is currently in the UK. He is in London trying to do a deal for Kostas Manolas, presumably to Arsenal.”

It certainly seems like Manolas is the most likely defender to be signed by the end of the month and I think he’d be a great addition. He was excellent at the World Cup for Greece and would give us some real depth at the back.

Let’s hope we can tie this deal up quickly to give us time to bring in at a defensive midfielder, and if Arsene has time, how about a top class striker as well!?

    Manolas, yes please and asap because we are in dire need of a good CB. Kos is not well but plays and that will aggravate whatever he is suffering.
    Chambers is good but should not be hurried. Another DM is needed. Coz Arteta is not able to play whole season and he lacks power or speed. Upfront we are in need a strong, fast finisher than Giroud. Without those we will suffer the same fate we suffered last year and it was no fun being a Gooner- thrashed by you know who. Can you imagine one of them being Cesc?

    It is insanity to keep doing thesame thing and expecting a different result. Wenger has been doing this and see the outcome so it is left foor him to buy a better player because as for me I haven’t seen him buying a better player this season.

    Please wenger try all your possible best to land cavani, for our team because we need a fast finisher. all premier ship defender as no giroud. So no fear for them! eve there see our point man, and we need a good finishing man, that get sense and power I believe to have cavani in our team we give us a good result.

    For any trophy this season arsenal needs a hard-powerful not injury prone tackler to stand in the middle,centre back cover,and goal poacher in the box of the enemy. If wenger cant buy a striker he shdnt sell podolski coz he is far better than giroud if given chance at front.pliz wenger do the needful

    Arsene Werner is tibaliistic he will not allow any nationals to head his attacking squad unless is a French man so don’t expect him to signing any attacker for now .i wish him good luck . I shall continue to support Asenal forever

    My choach, we are beleivng in your phylosophy, and we know dis time we will get it right, that is only if you do the right thing.
    The right thing is a sharp attacker that can give us goals, and not one goal in 20 chances.be proactive Mr choach, let the fans laugh for once.
