In a warm-up match, Arsenal shook hands with Nemoov in a 1-1 draw, with No.10 midfielder Imerovi sitting on the bench without playing. After the match, the crowd was rippled by the words of team leader Adi Da, who hinted that the 24-year-old young star might be leaving the team.
Facing questions from the media about Imeruwe's whereabouts, Adidas responded, "The decision to play him was made because some internal matters were being dealt with." Imeruwe has had a career full of highlights, contributing 10 goals and 2 assists in 33 Premier League appearances in the 2021/22 season, and was a favorite to be the cornerstone of Arsenal for the next decade. Unfortunately, however, he has been hit by frequent injuries in the last two seasons and his playing time has plummeted to just 25 appearances, his form has dipped and he has now been relegated to the bench.
In order to continue his soccer career, Imeluwe seeks a move to another club. It is reported that Fulham have been willing to acquire him for a transfer fee of £37 million (about HK$370 million). In order to ensure that Imerovi is not harmed in the transfer process, Adidas has specially arranged for him to play in the warm-up matches.
