Arsenal on the Chopping Block!

In a whirlwind of transfer activity, Arsenal looks set to part ways with not one, but two defenders in rapid succession. David Ornstein reveals that discussions are heating up for another Gunners player to make a switch to a Ligue 1 squad.

Defensive Shakeup in Full Swing!

The north London club has been bustling with movement this summer, adding seven new faces while waving goodbye to two players. In addition, three have departed on free transfers, and one player is currently on loan.

Zinchenko in the Spotlight!

As the summer window inches toward its close, two more defenders could be packing their bags. Jakub Kiwior’s deal to join Porto is now official, as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, but could Oleksandr Zinchenko be next? Reports from Ornstein indicate that Marseille is eager to finalize a deal for the Ukrainian star, although Zinchenko’s high salary might complicate matters.

Deadline Approaches!

Negotiations are ongoing, with the September 1 deadline looming. While the exact fee Arsenal is seeking remains under wraps, rumors have surfaced suggesting they might demand around £13 million.

Kiwior's Transfer Details!

It's worth noting that while Zinchenko’s future hangs in the balance, Kiwior’s transfer details have been clarified. Porto will pay a loan fee of €2 million (approximately £1.7 million) initially, with an obligation to make the move permanent for €17 million (£14.7 million). Additionally, performance-related add-ons could inflate Kiwior’s final transfer fee to an impressive €27 million (£23.4 million), complete with a sell-on clause for the player they brought in last year.

Targeting a Replacement!

Meanwhile, Arsenal isn’t slowing down—they’re reportedly in talks with Bayer Leverkusen for promising defender Piero Hincapie. The Bundesliga club has accepted a loan proposal with a future buy obligation, although the terms of the deal have yet to be disclosed.

Nelson's Future in Jeopardy?

In another development, forward Reiss Nelson’s name has surfaced as a potential target for Fulham. After a successful loan spell last season, he’s viewed as a suitable replacement for Andreas Pereira—could a transfer be on the horizon?

What’s Next for Arsenal?

As the transfer window nears its climax, all eyes are on Arsenal. Will they manage to offload Zinchenko and continue their reinvention in defense? Stay tuned for the latest updates!
