The summer transfer window is open and managers are working hard on their transfer targets so we’ll bring you all the latest gossip from around the globe. Today, Sokratis Papastathopoulos has completed his medical with Arsenal….Unai Emery is looking to strengthen our defence as Per Mertesacker has moved in to a coaching role following his retirement while Laurent Koscielny will miss a large part of next season due to his Achilles injury so our new head coach needs to bring in at least one new centre-back this summer.
Sokratis has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in recent weeks and his father was quoted as saying that the Greek international was set for a move to Arsenal after snubbing the advances of Manchester United with Sven Mislintat believed The 30-year-old has been a key player for Dortmund since joining from Werder Bremen in 2013 but his future at the Westfalonstadion has been in doubt over the past few months as he’s got just one year left on his deal and has refused to sign an extension.
