Arsenal to Sign £45m Trio In Final 36 Hours of the January Transfer Window

Posted by

Goal.com state that Arsenal are also in advanced talks to bring in PSG battler Blaise Matuidi as Wenger seeks to bring in an extra defensively minded midfielder to offer him some added steel in the centre of the park.

The need to bring in a player of Matuidi’s talents has been heightened following the four match ban handed to Mathieu Flamini following his red card against Southampton on Tuesday night and though the Parc des Princes tough tackler is out of contract in the summer the Gunners are ready to offer a significant fee this month in an attempt to persuade Laurent Blanc to sell the player before the transfer window slams shut.

The fact that PSG have just purchased Yohan Cabaye from Newcastle United may also play in Arsenal’s favour and a move to the Emirates Stadium may tempt Matuidi.

Wenger is also without Aaron Ramsey for up to six weeks and Jack Wilshere is suffering with an ankle issue that will keep him out of upcoming fixtures, bringing to light just how light Arsenal are on options in the centre of the park.

PSG may be open to a decent offer for Matuidi considering they face the very real possibility of losing the player on a free transfer at the end of the season and Arsenal are said to be willing to fork out as much as £10m for the former Saint-Etienne man.
