da marjack bet： Safe to say, the summer has been a bit of a nightmare for Arsenal fans. It started so well with the early arrivals of Sead Kolasinac and Alexandre Lacazette but could end with some important players leaving the club; Alexis Sanchez is still being eyed by Manchester City, Liverpool are in talks to sign Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Inter Milan are chasing Shkodran Mustafi.
da imperador bet： And that all comes on the backdrop of an incredibly poor start to the season on the pitch, climaxing with a 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Liverpool on Sunday. It wasn’t just another poor result against divisional rivals away from home for the Gunners, but also the manner of the performance – abject, aimless and completely disorganised.
Cries of ‘Wenger Out’ already seem as loud as ever before, just a matter of weeks into the new season, and one can only imagine how toxic the club could become if all three players leave before Thursday’s deadline. However, Arsene Wenger does have one more day to get a deal over the line that would win over at least some of his disillusioned fan base.
Looking at the deals that could still take place before the transfer window slams shut, Virgil van Dijk particularly comes to mind. He’s been largely forgotten about after the tapping up fiasco earlier in the summer but hasn’t kicked a ball for Saints so far this season and appears determined to leave.
As our infographic highlights, the Dutchman was unquestionably one of the top centre-backs in the Premier League last season until a campaign-ending injury in January, not only dominant in defensive scenarios but also demonstrating an exceptional ability to build attacks from the heart of the backline.
That suits Arsenal’s style of play perfectly and Wenger’s 3-4-3 formation – although it remains to be seen whether he’ll stick with it following the hammering on Sunday. Furthermore, Arsenal have already been linked by The Independent, however they reportedly face a £70million bill for the 26-year-old’s services.
But amid a worrying transfer window for Arsenal and an even worse start to the season, signing van Dijk for a club-record sum would at least give Wenger something positive to take into Arsenal’s next batch of Premier League fixtures after the international break.
