Two superstars have completed their magnificent encounter on the London soccer map. In a high-profile unveiling, Fulham FC announced the signing of Arsenal's star Imeruvi, a midfielder who will be donning the Fulham kit, with a five-year pact signed between the two sides. According to inside information, the transfer fee for the deal is as high as £34 million (about HK$340 million), which not only sets a new record for star purchases by Fulham, but also allows the Arsenal to realize the highest price sale in the player transfer market.
Behind the "sky-high" price in this deal, the fixed transfer fee is 27 million pounds, while the floating part is as high as 7 million pounds. If the floating clause is implemented, Imerovi's price will climb to £34 million, becoming the highest transfer price in the history of Arsenal. The deal will bring in a huge amount of revenue for the club and herald a whole new chapter in the young player's career.
Imeruwe, 24, is an outstanding product of Arsenal's youth academy. In the 2021/22 season, he was the focal point of the Arsenal after making 33 appearances for the Premier League, contributing 10 goals and 2 assists. However, injuries became a nightmare for him in the past two seasons and his playing time plummeted. Despite this, he has not been able to return to his best form since his comeback. Last season, he only played 19 matches, with no income and only contributed 1 assist, and finally had no choice but to leave the team.
The departure of Imeluwe has left Arsenal's No. 10 jersey vacant. Rumors indicate that captain Martin Odigat, who originally wore the No. 8 jersey, may be due for a number change, with the leader perhaps taking over the No. 10 jersey and continuing to lead the team's campaign.
