Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has given an update on three players who are expecte to leave. With Emile Smith Rowe likely to go ahead of Eddie Nketiah or Reiss Nelson, while defender Riccardo Calafiori is in the running to gain some composure.
The Gunners just started their warm-up match with Bournemouth, drawing 1-1 in 90 minutes before winning 5-4 on penalties. Overall, they played according to their style. The main players are reliable, including Martin Odegaard, Jorginho and Ben White. The one who improved significantly was Fabio Vieira, who scored the opening goal ทางเข้า ufabet https://ufabet999.com.
It is worth noting that midfielder Emile Smith Rowe was not seen in the match in California amid speculation. That the Gunners are willing to sell the Englishman to Fulham for £35m.
Of course, the Spanish coach was aware of the progress of the deal at all times. So he chose to protect the 23-year-old’s body from being damage.
“There was something going on behind the scenes. So we felt it was best not to use him,” he said after the game at Dignity Health Sports Park in California.
But the news of Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson. Who have also been link with moves but have been includ in the starting 11, shows that there is still a lot of time to negotiate.
“A lot of players have been link with a move – that’s normal,” the 42-year-old add.
“What I really like is that the players who are still with us have shown their level of skill. So I would just talk about both of them in terms of their performances on the pitch.”
“In the case of Calafiori, there is no progress. When the time comes to say anything, we will definitely tell.”
“You know I don’t like to talk about other teams’ players.”
The Italian defender is now undergoing a medical ahead of a move from Bologna to join the Gunners during this week’s pre – season tour of the United States .
