It is well known that the prices of football players in the transfer market have skyrocketed in recent years.
But the latest reports of a £26.5million move for Tyrone Mings from Bournemouth to Aston Villa has got Arsenal fans talking this afternoon (Sunday).
The 26-year-old has been a transfer target for the newly-promoted side, having spent the second half of last season on loan at Villa from Bournemouth.
He played a key role in Villa's promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs, and now the Bournemouth Daily Echo reports that he is close to a £26.5m move to Villa Park, on a permanent basis.
But those reports have caused quite a stir among Arsenal supporters, with the Gunners having several players within the squad who could be surplus to requirements this summer.
Calum Chambers is one player who could be on the move, after spending last season on loan at Fulham, and the reports of the fee for Mings have got some Arsenal fans questioning how much the Gunners may hope to receive for the former Southampton defender.
Here's what some Arsenal fans have been saying about Chambers, and the proposed deal for Mings.
Should Chambers be sold this summer, any potential fee received for the 24-year-old could be used by Arsenal to boost their transfer budget, amid the Gunners' interest in signing Wilfried Zaha, who is valued at around £80million by Crystal Palace.
Arsenal had an initial bid of £40m turned down by the Eagles last week, with the Gunners' offer rejected out of hand by the south London side as being derisory.
