Arsenal Transfer News: Arsenal narrowly missed out on qualifying for the UEFA Champions League in the previous season after finishing fifth on the points table.
Arsenal Transfer News: The Gunners had a chance to qualify but they let the chance slip away from their hands. However, the way they made a comeback in the ongoing season of the Premier League has been nothing short of spectacular. It is one of the best-ever seasons in their Premier League history.
The Gunners hit 63 points from 26 games so far. With twelve more games to go, they will have to be more clinical in clutch moments of the game to ensure that they gun for the fourth PL title. The last time they won the Premier League was back in 2003/04. Since then, they struggled to win the title as they quite often made it to the top four spot.
Although they showcased their mettle in the FA Cup events, they didn’t have the same ambition towards winning the title in the Premier League. However, this time around, things have changed as the Gunners have been playing a different kind of game altogether. They have been operating as a team and there have been positive vibes flowing in and around the dressing room.
The players seem to be enjoying the brand of football they have been playing. Besides that, they have churned out positive results compared to all other teams in the competition. They won a total of 20 games, drew thrice and lost three games. It will be quite interesting to see how they respond in the upcoming games of the season.
The Gunners confident about a potential £35 million deal for Celta Vigo’s Gabri Veiga
The Gunners’ hierarchy are pretty much confident about a potential £35 million deal for Celta Vigo’s midfielder by the name of Gabri Veiga. Spain U21 international has dictated the terms with the ball by leading the attack by example in La Liga. It is worth mentioning that no other midfielder has netted more goals than Viega who scored eight goals.
However, when an opportunity comes knocking on the door, Arsenal wouldn’t just sit and watch as they will quickly find a way to seal his signature. The Gunners will surely be signing some players in the upcoming summer transfer window. “There has always been contact with Arsenal,” German reporter named Christian Falk told Give Me Sport.

“And we’ve heard that the club is interested again. Spain U21 international Gabri Veiga’s deal expires in 2024, so there has to be a decision. Especially now that he’s found more consistency this term. The Gunners are more interested than ever before,” he added. Earlier, there were reports claiming that they have put three players up for sale.
They are none other than Kieran Tierney, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares. All these three players lacked enough game time at Arsenal. While Tierney is warming the bench, the likes of Lokonga and Tavares are playing for Crystal Palace and Marseille on loan from the Premier League table-toppers. If the team management sells these players, they might get more funds to buy some players in the transfer window.
