Today’s transfer deadline is likely to be extremely quiet for Arsenal, although Bitello from Gremio is one player they could be able to sign.
So far, the Gunners’ window has been fantastic. Mikel Arteta appears satisfied with his team after they added Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber, Declan Rice, and David Raya.
On Talking Transfers, Graeme Bailey discussed Arsenal’s activity on the day of the transfer deadline.
Bitello might join Arsenal today.
A new midfielder was extensively linked to Arsenal at the beginning of the transfer period.
Rice was obviously the prime priority, and they were able to sign him for a then-British record sum, but even when he arrived, there were still a lot of rumors.
One of the most intriguing players is from Brazil, and according to numerous sources, Arsenal is interested in acquiring Bitello from Gremio.
It won’t be long until the’very speedy’ 23-year-old midfielder departs Gremio for a more prestigious team after two outstanding seasons in Brazil.
Edu’s connections in Brazil give Arsenal an edge over other clubs in situations like this. That’s how the Gunners got Gabriel Martinelli and Marquinhos, while deals to sign Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Jesus also became easier thanks to their sporting director.
Bailey now asserts that Gremio midfielder Bitello will be the player Arsenal signs before tonight’s transfer deadline because of Edu.
When discussing today’s Arsenal signings, he said: “It appears that might be it. They don’t appear to be doing anything else. They have examined a few (players) in the area.
The Gremio midfielder Bitello, who they did seem to like a lot, is the one I might keep an eye on.
In the end, Gremio requested too much money, which prevented it from happening. However, it wouldn’t surprise me if they brought up that subject again considering Edu’s connections to Brazilian athletes.
