Arsenal FC managed to sign De Glanlais for a record transfer fee of £105 million (approximately HK$1.068 billion), with a preliminary agreement having been reached with Westham FC at the beginning of the month. However, the transfer was unexpectedly delayed for more than a week, which made the Westham side quite unhappy and also made the fans doubtful about the finalization of the transfer. It's worth mentioning that Di Grimes has recently resumed training, and has even been photographed playing with Banno Fernandes, Zuol Janslu and other stars.
According to The Sun, Arsenal and Westham reached an agreement on the transfer fee on the 4th of this month, but as of now, no official announcement has been made. It is reported that Arsenal's legal team has not yet issued the final document, this delay makes the transfer process delayed again and again, but also affects the Westham club's team progress. The club has expressed strong dissatisfaction. Nevertheless, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano said that both sides expect the transfer to be completed successfully and it is only a matter of time before an official announcement is made.
