Here are your Arsenal evening headlines for Thursday, September 24.
Brazil legend makes Arsenal statement that fans will love
Brazilian icon Cafu thinks that Gabriel Magalahes and Willian have joined Arsenal due to their desire to win the Premier League title.
Both Brazilian players joined the Gunners from Lille and Chelsea respectively earlier in the transfer window and already shown their quality under Mikel Arteta.
Since joining Arsenal, Cafu has stated that both players clearly have the ambition to win things in north London.
“Two great players, I am a fan of both Gabriel and Willian,” World Cup winner Cafu said .
“Willian already stood out in the Brazilian team, in the games he played, and stood out at Chelsea.
“Gabriel stood out and continues to impress. I think they are two players who really will perform very well at Arsenal.
“They are players who came, not only to add value, they came to win the Premier League.”
Key transfer update could help Arsenal and Partey
Arsenal’s pursuit of Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey could be about to reach a climax.
The La Liga side are believed to be only willing to sell the 27-year-old in this transfer window if they can find a replacement. According to Culture PSG , reported target Idrissa Gueye is allowed to leave the French champions before the end of the window which could help Arsenal significantly.
A series of events often need to trigger into place for deals to get over the line and the availability of Gueye could really help Arsenal’s own transfer plans.
With less than two weeks left until the transfer deadline, this saga looks set to continue right until the end.
Suarez pushing for Torreira deal
New Atletico Madrid signing Luis Suarez is reportedly urging the club to sign Lucas Torreira before the end of the transfer window.
According to AS , the Uruguayan star is keen on teaming up with the Arsenal midfielder due to their time on international duty together.
It is understood that the Gunners midfielder has been subject to an offer from Atletico Madrid, though that only includes a loan with a non-mandatory option to buy when the season finishes.
While Suarez’s endorsement of Torreira may not be the decisive push needed, it could strengthen the hand of Arsenal in trying to bring Partey the other way.
