With the tight countdown to the summer transfer window in Europe's top five leagues, deals on the pitch are as frequent as lightning. Among them, the dynamics of the Premier League market are particularly eye-catching. Right at the last minute, Arsenal officials unveiled a big news - 29-year-old England star Stanning will join the team next season, saying goodbye to Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea to start his fourth stop in the Premier League.
New Chelsea coach Maliska recently revealed that he no longer plans to extend Staanen's contract. Even if Staanen stays, it is feared that he will not be able to find a chance to play. Given the team's interest in acquiring Stanning, Chelsea had to compromise and loan out the star. Arsenal, on the other hand, saw the opportunity and managed to get the English shot-stopper on loan. The Adidas leaders are still looking forward to Stanning's future. It is reported that Staanen's weekly salary is as high as £325,000, with Chelsea having to cover half of the expenses, and completely free of charge.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have also loaned out young wing Reiss Nelson to Fulham to make way for Stanning. Staanen has vowed to show the fans his best form after joining Arsenal.
However, Arsenal's star-studded squad, including Li Ando Dusat, Bucayo Shaka and Gabriele Martinelli, is a strong contender for the striker's position, and Staanen's arrival will undoubtedly add to the complexity of the battle for the top spot.
