Arsenal agree £16m deal to sign Bundesliga centre-back

Sri Aswin — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 21:05:13 +0000

Arsenal are understood to have reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund to secure the signing of Greek centre-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos, The Telegraph reports. The 29-year-old is set to become the Gunners’ second signing of the summer transfer window after Stephan Lichtsteiner’s Bosman agreement to join the club.
Sokratis has pretty much been linked with the Gunners since the end of the 2017/18 season and his father Charalambos confirmed earlier in the week that the move is almost done.
As such, the Greek’s potential transfer could be considered as one of the worst kept secrets and The Telegraph have now confirmed that he would be joining the Gunners for a fee of around £16m.
The former Werder Bremen is also expected to sign a three-year deal with the north London giants but the publication suggests that the move won’t be made official until next month.
No reasons have been given behind the so-called delay but Dortmund may be interested in signing a replacement first before announcing the end of the Greek’s seven-year stay in the German Bundesliga.
Arsenal have basically concentrated on bolstering the backline during the summer transfer window and this has surely become a necessity, considering how the defence underperformed during the previous league campaign.
The north London outfit conceded a staggering tally of 51 in just 38 top-flight games last term and much of this resulted from the poor decision-making in the central defensive department in particular.
As such, Sokratis will add some much-needed experience and depth into the position and his arrival will also provide the Gunners with a captaincy candidate amid Laurent Koscielny’s long-term injury absence.
Sokratis has genuine leadership credentials after having captained AEK Athens at the tender age of 19 but it will be interesting to see whether Unai Emery regards the Greek as a contender with Granit Xhaka and Aaron Ramsey in the squad.

Arsenal are 6th in the Premier League after 23 games and it looks highly likely that they will fail to finish in the top four.
The Gunners need to strengthen their team before the closure of the winter transfer window and they are heavily linked with Gabon international and Dortmund star Aubameyang.
According to a recent report covered by Sky Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio on his website, Arsenal have reached an agreement (until 2021) worth €10million-a-year with the 28-year-old center forward.

The north Londoners splashed the cash to sign Alexandre Lacazette in the summer transfer window but the French international has been out of form. He has only netted 8 times in 23 league outings.
Aubameyang is one of the best finishers in the world and he has already netted 21 goals in 23 games for the German club this season. In the last campaign, the African striker scored 31 goals in 32 league appearances for Dortmund.
Di Marzio claims that the Bundesliga club are demanding a fee of €60 million euros for their prized asset and Arsenal could include Giroud in the deal to meet that asking price.
Giroud is currently out with a hamstring injury and so far, he has only started one league game for the Gunners this season.

The African star is one of the best strikers in world football. Current Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was the one to lure Auba for Dortmund and at first, he played as a winger in the presence of Lewandowski.
Since the departure of the Polish striker to Bayern Munich, Aubameyang has excelled in the center forward role for the Bundesliga club. He has so far scored 21 goals in 23 appearances this season.
Pierre-Emerick’s current deal with Dortmund will expire in 2021 and he is rated (Star) at 53 million pounds ($73million).

Aubameyang to Arsenal – Shocking Update – Fans will Hate Wenger

Zaryab — Tue, 16 Jan 2018 05:18:11 +0000

Arsenal must replace Alexis Sanchez with a top quality star and Dortmund’s Aubameyang has been in the lime light.
Yesterday, Daily Star reported that the North Londoners are confident of signing the Gabon international in the winter transfer window but the latest update provided by the British source will shock the supporters.
Today, Star have exclusively claimed that Wenger is not sure whether to spend big on Aubameyang or not.

It is mentioned that the French boss is seriously worried about the player’s disciplinary concerns and therefore, he is only willing to spend 35 million pounds to lure him. However, the German club rate the African star at 53 million pounds.
The 28-year-old center forward is one of the best goalscorers in the world. Last season he netted 40 goals in all competitions and this season, so far, he has scored 21 goals in 23 outings.
The baffling issue is that Arsene is only willing to pay 35 million pounds for a star, whose contract will expire in 2021, whereas, Alexis, who is out of contract in less than 6 months, will be leaving Arsenal in a 40 million pounds deal (via Daily Star link provided above).
Fans will absolutely hate Wenger if Aubameyang does not end up at Arsenal due to the manager’s insane stance.

Arsenal want 21-Goal Superstar at the Emirates

Zaryab — Thu, 04 Jan 2018 06:38:14 +0000

Arsenal are 23 points behind league leaders Manchester City and 5 points behind fourth placed Liverpool. It looks likely that the Gunners will once again fail to qualify for the Champions League through the PL.
Winning the Europa League would be really hard as well now that the likes of Dortmund, Napoli and Atletico Madrid will be taking part after getting eliminated from the UCL group stages.
As far as the transfers are concerned, Alexis Sanchez may end up leaving the club this month and if that happens, reports suggest that Arsenal want a proven quality star to replace him.

According to renowned Sky journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Arsenal want to sign Dortmund striker Aubameyang to replace Alexis if the Chilean joins Manchester City.
The 28-year-old center forward is one of the best goalscorers in the world. Last season, he scored 40 goals in all competitions for the German club.
He has continued to be brilliant up front this season as well. So far, in the current campaign, the Gabon international has netted 21 goals in 23 games.
Last month, he signed a new deal with the Bundesliga side which will expire in 2021 and that means he is going to cost a lot if Arsenal do move in to sign him.

How Liverpool Could Line up with Aubameyang

Marek — Mon, 04 Dec 2017 05:59:35 +0000

Liverpool have not been able to replace Luis Suarez since the Uruguayan international left to join Barca in 2014.
In his last season for the Reds, the South American superstar netted 31 league goals. Since then, no Liverpool player has managed to score even 20 league goals in a season.
Salah has already netted 12 league goals this season but he is a natural winger and not and out and out center forward.
Yesterday, we covered a report (via Express) that Sturridge might depart the Anfield club and Klopp wants to sign Aubameyang, who is valued at around (via Bild) 60 million euros ($71million) by Dortmund.

At the moment, Roberto Firmino is playing as Liverpool’s main center forward up front under Klopp. However, if Aubameyang does end up moving to Anfield then he should be the one to lead the line as the Gabon international is better finisher than the Brazilian.
Firmino has scored 11 goals in 21 games so far this season. On the other had Aubameyang has scored 17 goals in 19 games.
Therefore, if Pierre-Emerick joins Liverpool then we can expect Firmino to take Sturridge’s place on the bench. Here is how Liverpool could line up with Aubameyang.

Liverpool have been fantastic in the attacking third this season and yesterday, they defeated Brighton 5-1 away from home to move into the top 4.
As far as the transfers are concerned, reports suggest that Daniel Sturridge could depart the Anfield club in the winter transfer window and Klopp is looking to replace him with a top out and out center forward.
According to an exclusive story covered by Express, Liverpool are ready to launch a move to hire the services of Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund.
The 28-year-old star is one of the best strikers in the world, who was signed for the German club by none other than current Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

The Gabon international has featured in 19 games in all competitions for the Bundesliga side this season and directly contributed on no fewer than 20 goals (17 goals and 3 assists).
His behavior has been a concern for BvB lately. As per the provided Express link, he was suspended early on in the season for arriving late for training. Moreover, he was sent off in the derby against Schalke.
Last month, renowned German source Bild reported that Dortmund have intensified search for Aubameyang’s replacement and will be ready to accept an offer worth €60million.
In your opinion, should Liverpool splash the cash to secure his signing? In all fairness, Klopp does not really need to strengthen his attack, instead, he must focus on signing a world class central defender.

Aubameyang Considering Dortmund Exit – Liverpool Must Sign

Ivan — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 05:45:57 +0000

Liverpool have improved their attacking department by signing Salah and Solanke but their strike-force clearly lacks quality and depth.
The Reds’s premier out and out center forward is Daniel Sturridge, who has mostly been injury prone. Ings has mostly been on the treatment table as well since he joined the club under the management of Rodgers.
Origi is mainly a bench warmer and Firmino, a natural attacking playmaker, is utilized in the No.9 position. Not to forget, Klopp sold the likes of Benteke and Balotelli last summer and the duo excelled with their respective clubs last season.

In such a situation, Liverpool must sign a world class out and out center forward and someone like Aubameyang would be perfect. Liverpool have been linked with the $78million star this summer (The Sun). Klopp lured the Gabon star for Dortmund and he was in super form in the last campaign.
Recently, the 28-year-old center forward has come up and stated that he surely needs to leave to progress in his career (Independent).

“If I want to grow, I surely need to leave this summer. I am 28 and I need to grow. If I leave, it will only be somewhere I would play regularly.”

Last season, the African star scored 40 goals in 46 games for the German club. This season, he has already netted 5 times in just 3 appearances. In your opinion, should Liverpool sign Aubameyang?

Not Bale – Man United Must Sign Dembele from Dortmund

Ivan — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 14:00:58 +0000

Manchester United have been trying to sign a wide player all summer long but so far, they have not been able to achieve this objective.
Earlier in the day, we covered a report (via Independent) claiming that Mourinho has turned his attention towards signing Danny Rose because it looks highly unlikely that the likes of Bale and Perisic.
The bad news for United is that as per ES, Tottenham Hotspur are in no mood of selling the 27-year-old England international. So, United can forget about luring him as well.

In my opinion, United do not need Rose when they have players like Shaw, Rojo, Blind and Darmian who can operate in the LB & LWB positions. Also, United do not need to sign Bale (28), who might be past his best and was injury prone last season.
Instead, the Old Trafford club have to agree the signing of one of the best young attacking stars in the world in the form of Ousmane Dembele, who is rated over €100million as per Dortmund CEO Watzke (Goal).
The French international is just 20 and will be a much better investment than Bale who is also going to cost around €100million (Marca)
Like Gareth, Dembele is also a super quick playmaker who can play on both flanks. However, unlike Bale, the former Rennes star is a quality dribbler and can maneuver the ball with both feet.
Last season, Ousmane started 22 league games for the Bundesliga side and directly contributed in 19 goals (6 goals and 13 assists). Overall, he played 49 games, scored 10 goals and provided now fewer than 21 assists.
In your opinion, should Man Utd sign Bale or Dembele?

Star Playmaker Agrees Terms of Contract to Join Barcelona

Zaryab — Sun, 06 Aug 2017 13:05:25 +0000

Liverpool fans will be delighted with the news going on in the media that Barcelona have agreed terms of contract with Dortmund star Ousmane Dembele. This might be a sign that the La Liga side will not pursue Coutinho.
After selling Neymar to PSG, the Catalan giants have acted swiftly and agreed personal terms with the French international. Now, they are looking to agree a fee with the Bundesliga side and that could be around €100million (L’Equipe).
The above mentioned fee is ridiculously high and will make Dortmund earn a huge profit because he only joined last summer for a fee of €15million (ESPN).
As per the provided L’Equipe link, Barcelona want to close the deal as quickly as possible. Dembele can effectively play on either flank. He mainly played as a right winger last season but at Barca, Messi is the main right winger. So, we can expect the 20-year-old star to directly replace Neymar and start on the left flank for Barca.
This season, he has already played one game for Dortmund in the DFL Super Cup and provided an assist against Bayern. The German champions eventually won the contest on penalties.
Last season, he scored 10 goals and provided 21 assists for BvB in 49 games. In your opinion, is Dembele good enough to replace Neymar?
