Kurt Zouma, Andreas Christensen, Emerson Palmieri and Marcos Alonso according to the Express, who are quoting the Times here. Not sure why they don't list the fifth, though I doubt you'll actually be getting rid of 5 defenders. Though if you trust that Express article then half your squad is open to being sold: Zouma, Christensen, Palmieri, Alonso, Kepa (loan), Kante, Willian, Barkley, Bakayoko, and Batshuayi.

I thought we had rejected the loan for his eligibility in the europa unless and unless he's going there permanently?
He was eligible until and including Wednesday's game anyway, so I don't think this means his loan is extended necessarily.
There are a few rumours saying that he’s been signed for €15m and it will be announced after their next game. Good bit of business for us. Him off the wage bill and getting something for our troubles
Would have been happy to give him away if we didn't have to pay any of his wages any more. Getting a fee like that is great.
Yeah getting a fee for him would be great but not going to get my hopes up just yet
@jamesjimmybyrondean @FootyGirl88 thanks for posting the tweets about Sanchez. Unfortunately they don't adhere to the thread rules but here's one with the link to the original article (seems Sanchez to Inter is a footnote with Conte v Inter being the bulk of it)
The Sun is the source. They'll write anything for clicks.
I really don't like this... It has to be a 1+1 type of year like Luiz with ways for us to get out of the deal if needed. Tying him up for 3 years would be so stupid.
He would reduce Saka's time and get Lacazette on the bench to have Auba in the middle.
Sorry @Damien
Fantastic bit of business for us if true. It’s a very decent fee (15m euro to be added to our transfer budget), huge piece of wages off the bill.
Yeah I don't get that. Imagine he helps Inter get to the final and then they beat us in the final - and then Inter flogged Sanchez back to us anyway.
We'd look a bit silly.
Didn't he say he would extend at Chelsea if they offered him 3 year deal?
People are saying it was up to and including RO16 so perhaps he will naturally return to us after that last game? I'm not familiar enough with the rules to know if this is a rehash of an already submitted list or an updated one.
Only Arsenal would give a decent contract to a 32 year old winger.
I think that would be a brilliant signing for Arsenal. Especially on a free.
Not sure what Arsenal fans would think? But I can't see a downside.
I'd have him as back-up to Rashford.
Kia Joorabchain and Arsenal have been in bed together ever since Edu started working at Arsenal. No surprises here.
It actually comes from *allegedly* woody telling his team to focus on one deal at a time last summer. There was a tweet somewhere I think
Agreed.
He can still produce around 10-15 goals per season, which isn't bad for a backup player.
Does Willian not have a reputation for playing out of his skin when its time to get a new contract and then reverting back to mediocrity when he signs it?
So the downside for Arsenal is that they award a fairly lucrative 3 year deal to a 32 year old winger who simply sees this as one last payday and a club to collect money from for quite a long time before retiring.

I don't think so, no. Hed be a good squad option for anyone wanting more depth at worst. Think he'd be a good fit for arsenal given its free of a transfer cost.
He comes across as someone who puts in a lot of effort every time he is on the pitch.
He still has decent speed, good dribbling skills, and is decent with spot-kicks. In short, he makes up for the lack of genuine talent with a lot of running around, which isn't necessarily bad.
He isn't anything extraordinary at 32 years, but I think he will do okay at Arsenal for a couple of years.

BOOM
Plus the fact that there will invariably be a lot of injuries in the rushed 2020/2021 season, it is imperative that top teams build up a decent backup squad strength.
Looks like we are close to the announcement now. It will definitely happen in the next few days.
Here we go!
Here we go!
whats after the 'advanced stage' again?
flight tracking?
flight tracking?
sounds like the final phase of negotiation is in play.
ready to unzipit means a contract now exists in written format, and is 95% agreed by both parties.
Now into final phase of compromises, but those are 100% unlikely to wreck the deal.
Basically its done dealio.
