Arsenal set to complete signing of ‘amazing’ player for just £17m this week
According to reports, Arsenal is set to finalize the acquisition of Sacha Boey from Galatasaray in the coming week. Even though the summer transfer window is yet to officially open, the Gunners have already started negotiations with various clubs for player transfers.
Turkish publication Takvim has now revealed the most recent information regarding Arsenal’s pursuit of Sacha Boey, suggesting that the French player will join Arsenal in the near future.
Arsenal are set to sign Sacha Boey this week
Arsenal is actively searching for a new full-back during the summer transfer window. Players such as Ivan Fresneda and Joao Cancelo have been linked to the club as potential options, both of whom are highly regarded.
However, it appears that the Gunners have taken Bacary Sagna’s advice into consideration. Sagna, a former Arsenal player, expressed his belief over a month ago that Sacha Boey, whom he described as “amazing,” would be an ideal fit for Arsenal. Sagna encouraged Mikel Arteta to secure Boey’s signature this summer.
According to Takvim, following Arsenal’s initial offer of £15.5 million being turned down, the Gunners and Galatasaray have arranged a meeting this week in order to reach an agreement.
It is reported that the two clubs are close to finalizing a deal worth £17.2 million, which would result in Sacha Boey joining Arsenal in the near future.
Boey, who made 33 appearances for Galatasaray during the season, played a crucial role in their success in winning the Turkish league title.
Sacha Boey certainly presents an intriguing option for Arsenal. At just 22 years old, he has performed impressively during his time with Galatasaray in Turkey. It was expected that Boey would eventually move to a larger club, and Arsenal has been linked with him for some time now.
However, considering the availability of Ivan Fresneda, who is reportedly priced similarly or even lower, it might be worth considering signing the Spanish player instead of Boey.
Nevertheless, Bacary Sagna’s endorsement of Boey as an “amazing” player carries weight, and it could be one of the factors that have piqued Arsenal’s interest in him this summer. Ultimately, the decision on which player to pursue will depend on various factors, including the team’s evaluation and priorities.
