British media reported that the return to the Premier League, Southend United to Arsenal to negotiate the purchase of the American defender Auston Chastity, the offer of 5 million pounds (about 50 million Hong Kong dollars), is expected to reach an agreement this week, Arsenal agreed to release the person.
The 24-year-old Auston Chastity is a United States international who joined Arsenal from Colorado Rapids in 2022 for a transfer fee of 1.8 million euros (about HK$15.4 million), but remained in the United States on loan. Last season, he was loaned out to Birmingham of the English Championship, where he scored four goals and two assists in 44 matches, and has yet to play for the team after joining Arsenal.
Auston Chastity's loan spell ended this season and he was recovered by Arsenal. He played in the warm-up match against Nuremberg and was recently spotted by Southend United with an offer of 5 million pounds, and Arsenal netted 30 million pounds in the deal, so I believe the transfer can be completed smoothly and he will play for Southend United in the new season.
