TRANSFER DEADLINE: ARSENAL SET TO LAND DOUBLE-DEAL, AS LUIZ AND TIERNEY ARRIVE EMIRATES TO CEMENT AGREEMENT
Arsenal are set to land a double deal on the English Premier League, EPL transfer deadline day as they reportedly reached an agreement for the £8 million ($10m) transfer of David Luiz from Chelsea.
The Brazilian is set to join the Gunners on a two-year deal despite the Blues not being in a position to sign a replacement.
The Unai emery sides have been in the market for a new centre-back following a poor season at the back in 2018-19 and former captain Laurent Koscielny’s move to Bordeaux has only furthered the need for reinforcements.
Arsenal are also hoping to tie up a deal that will see Celtic’s Kieran Tierney join the club for £25m ($30m), with the English side’s first two bids for the Scotland international having been turned down.
Tierney is currently in London to undergo a medical and finalise a transfer that will see the 22-year-old join the Gunners on a five-year contract that will reportedly see Celtic earn a percentage of any future sale of the highly-rated left-back.
