Mirror: Arsenal s final purchase of Inkapier has nothing to do with whether the existing players are sold

August 25, the Daily Mirror reported that whether Arsenal will buy Inkapier in the near future has nothing to do with whether the team will sell existing players next.

Arsenal is planning to sign Inkapier before the deadline for next week's transfer. If the transfer can be finalized, Arsenal's recruitment spending this summer is expected to exceed 300 million pounds. The Ecuador international is a central defender or left-back position, and his transfer fee is about £55 million due to the termination clause in his contract.

This is another bold move for Arsenal, who is determined to strengthen various positions. Arsenal apparently also plans to sell some of the defenders to balance the team's finances and reduce the roster, otherwise it will be difficult for them to register all players on the Premier League roster.

However, Arsenal said that in Kapier's transfer is not based on the sale of players, and they have negotiated with Leverkusen on the deal. Inkapier, 23, received high praise and was regarded as a player who can bring competition and substitute depth to the team. Coach Arteta had previously admitted that the team lacked such players last season.

Arsenal is pushing for the transfer to introduce Inkapier in the next few days, and the all-round defender is also eager to join the Premier League. Despite the news that it linked Tottenham to Inkapier, Tottenham made it clear that they had never been interested in the player and had no contact with Leverkusen.

Arsenal had previously planned to sell some defenders, and Porto is currently negotiating for Kiviol's transfer. The Polish defender was ordered at the end of last season when the team suffered an injury crisis, but he would be eager to get more starting opportunities. Zinchenko may also leave the team before the transfer deadline next week. His current contract will expire in just one year. Although he understands that leaving the team as a free agent next summer will get a better offer, he also knows that his playing time at Arsenal this season will be very limited.
