As the summer transfer window is just about to close, it looks like Arsenal are closing in on a few deals to boost their stripped squad.
Carl Jenkinson—who saw red against Manchester United on Week 3—and Gervinho got added to Arsenal’s list earlier this summer. But Arsene Wenger explained that the club was looking forward to welcoming a few more players before the end of the transfer window. Last Friday, the Frenchman declared as Arsenal.com reported:
“It is important [to strengthen the team] because we will lose players in January with players going to the African Nations Cup. We will lose Gervinho and Chamakh together.
“So, first of all, it is important to strengthen up front. It is important that we find one midfielder and one defender as well. So we are still short of three bodies.”
As The Telegraph confirmed, Brazilian left-back Andre Santos is well on his way to the Emirates Stadium. It has been understood that Arsenal and Turkish giants Fenerbahçe agreed on a £6.2M transfer fee for Andre Santos on Monday night.
Meanwhile, rumors tell that Chelsea’s Yossi Benayoun could sign for Arsenal following Juan Mata’s arrival from Valencia a week ago. There are also claims in the media that Florent Malouda will complete Arsene Wenger’s late captures this summer.
