Sky Sports brings you the transfer roundup for
Arsenal after the transfer window shut last night.
Arsenal had a busy window since the departure of Arsene Wenger. His successor Dennis Bergkamp spends the cash more freely and so they had their record for the biggest sum spend on a transfer broken two times this summer.
Our verdict on the transfers:
Ins:
Marco Reus
View attachment 198373
From: Borussia Dortmund
Cost: € 84M
Rating: 5/5
Sky Sport says: They wanted another world class winger and they got themselves one. There's no question about his skills, only his injury proneness could stop him from overtake the premiere league. He and Sanchez will lift Arsenal to a new height. Also he didn't come in at a cheap, but we think he will be worth every penny.
Alvaro Morata

From: Juventus Turin
Cost: € 75M
Rating: 5/5
Sky Sport says: And another piece in the puzzle. Morata is already one of the worlds best strikers at the age of 23 and Arsenal needed some competition for Giroud. And with 4 goals in 4 matches he already started to build his legacy at Arsenal.
Stefan de Vrij

From: Lazio Rom
Cost: € 30M
Rating: 3.5/5
Sky Sport says: After Koscielny left de Vrij has some big shoes to fill. He has everything you want from a modern defender but has to prove if he can be as good as Koscielny in his prime.
Youri Tielemans

From: RSC Anderlecht
Cost: € 17M
Rating: 4.5/5
Sky Sport says: Youri Tielemans being transfer listed by Anderlecht was one of the biggest surprises this summer. Still only 19 years of age he already offers enough to play a bigger part in most sides. Arsenal loaned him back to Anderlecht to develop him even further but Arsenal got themselves one of the most promising youngsters in the game.
Lincoln

From: Gremio
Cost: € 12M
Rating: 5/5
Sky Sport says: Arsenals last day signing, even though the transfer will happen later on, after Lincoln turn 18. Another really promising player, who made himself a name after winning the Brazilian Gaucho State Championship with Gremio and having 68 games as a professional under his belt at the age of 17. Looks like a ****** and will join Arsenal on 01.01.2017.
Riecheldy Bazoer
View attachment 198338
From: Ajax Amsterdam
Cost: € 10.5M
Rating: 4/5
Sky Sport says: Another fairly young player who already worked under Dennis Bergkamp in the Ajax youth. Will also be loaned back to his previous club to develop further in his known enviroment and join up with Dennis Bergkamp next year. Looks quite promising but will have to see how much game time he can get behind Coquelin and Casemiro.
Jerome Onguene
View attachment 198337
From: AS Saint-Etienne
Cost: € 5M
Rating: 2.5/5
Sky Sport says: A young french defender with promising talent, who never played in the top flight. As far as we know he will be loaned out this season to prove he's good enough for the future. But if you compare him to the other talents Arsenal bought, we aren't as excited.
Iver Fossum
View attachment 198336
From: Stromsgodset
Cost: € 2.1M
Rating: 3.5/5
Sky Sport says: Labeld as the next big thing after Odegaard, Arsenal went in to secure him first. Don't look as classie as Odegaard but still like a very decent player. Was loaned to Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk to get more expiriecend.
Outs:
Emiliano Martinez joined Borrusia Mönchengladbach for a fee of € 4M
Has no real chance to ever play for Arsenal and trys to find his luck elsewhere.
Laurent Koscielny joined Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of € 18.25M
A big loss for Arsenal. It was the players wish to get back to france and they granted it. Will have another 2-3 years there before retiring and could still help any side.
Joel Campbell joined 1. FSV Mainz 05 for a fee of € 7.75M
Never really setteld in at Arsenal and took his chance to prove himself in the Bundesliga
Mathieu Debuchy joined Manchester United for a fee of € 4.2M
After his injuries in the first season and the rise of Bellerin never stood a chance on the right back position and with Jenkinson getting back and Chambers as second backup Debuchy tries to battle there for the spot.
Nacho Monreal joined Newcastle United for a fee of € 4.5M
Was in the same position as Debuchy with Bernat and Gibbs playing on the left back more reguarly than him.
Rosicky leaves on a free
Mikel Arteta leaves on a free
Mathieu Flamini leaves on a free
Jon Toral leaves on a free
Glen Kamara leaves on a free
Deyan Illiev leaves on a free
Ryan Huddart leaves on a free
Tafari Moore leaves on a free
Kristopher Da Graca leaves on a free
