Arsenal "confident" for a transfer of 27 million pounds of William Saliba

Defender Saint-Etienne William Saliba should join Arsenal after the conclusion of an agreement between the two clubs.

Gunners are thought to have offered £ 27 million to the 18-year-old, who will have to complete his medical exam before the deal can be formally announced.

According to some information, Saliba will return to France where he will continue his development with his parent club, Saint-Etienne.

The rivals of North London, Tottenham, would also be eager to reach the teenager.

However, Arsenal seems to have won the race for the signing. Football.London says he is "confident" that the contract is concluded.

Unai Emery added striker Gabriel Martinelli to his team earlier this month and the Brazilian teen opened his club account in the 3-0 win he won in the pre-season over Colorado Rapids.

The club's transfer activity could continue with the signing of Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos, who has been linked to a loan transfer to the Gunners.

Ceballos, who represented Spain at the under-21 level, did not accompany Madrid during his tour in the United States, he is currently on vacation.

Arsenal and Madrid are scheduled to meet for a preparatory game in Washington DC next week.

Elsewhere, the Gunners have been persistent in their quest to strengthen the group, which has failed to qualify for the Champions League for the upcoming season, thus limiting their transfer budget.

Striker Kieran Tierney was dismissed twice, but remains optimistic. He is able to protect his man for around £ 25 million.

However, Arsenal's pursuit of winger Crystal Palace Wilfried Zaha could prove a step too much, with the Ivorian's badessment looking too high.

New rumors have linked them to the Gremio attacker Everton Soares, but it remains to be seen which of these transactions can be concluded before the window closes on August 8th.
