On the program of this JT Foot Transfer market: Arsenal is preparing its future transfer window, the future of Eden Hazard and the evolution of the conflict between Hatem Ben Arfa and Jocelyn Gourvennec.
The Arsenal close-up
For the past few seasons, Arsenal has been struggling to regain its former glory. In addition, the leaders of the Gunners do not have a financial windfall that allows them to spend lavishly. Recently, Arsenal pulled out the checkbook for Nicolas Pepe, the most expensive transfer in the club’s history, but this recruitment did not have the desired effect. The Ivorian has also opened the door to a departure. Another player likely to leave the London club: Alexandre Lacazette. According to information from SPORT, FC Barcelona is very interested in the idea of recruiting the French international to reform the Lacazette-Aubameyang duo. Finally, to be complete, in the defensive sector, The Sun explain that Kieran Tierney has expressed his wish to stay with the Gunners until the end of his contract, i.e. until 2026. Problem, the leaders see in him a possible significant inflow of money. The Scot had been tracked by Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. The two Spanish giants were ready to pay 60 million euros for the side.

According to our information, the Gunners returned to the charge this week to Eden Hazard. A new meeting took place to discuss a possible loan next season.

If successful, Casa Blanca, which is also counting on a good Cup for the player, aims to sell him in the summer of 2023, one year from the end of his contract.

In the head of the former Chelsea player, he is convinced that he can still impose himself within the White House, despite all the troubles he has experienced and the potential arrival of a Kylian Mbappe at his post.
Clash Gourvennec/Ben Arfa
Jocelyn Gourvennec returned to a press conference on his altercation with Ben Arfa. Well, the act of the latter will not go unpunished. A quick reminder of the facts, after LOSC-Bordeaux, Hatem Ben Arfa literally freaked out. After having a clash with a teammate, he attacked his coach. A slippage on which the Lille coach came back at length in a press conference: “it was difficult to understand and for me maybe even more because I had a lot of affection for this player (…) I have been in the world of football for 34 years and I had never seen that . I have no lesson to give, but I know what I want, what I don’t want and I move forward like that.Arrived free this winter, Hatem Ben Arfa should not last very long in the north. The Dogues coach has announced that the club has launched proceedings against the 34-year-old player. The latter replied to his coach on his Instagram story: “are you talking about twisted? Whereas you and your president are the most twisted. You, your problem is incompetence. Go LOSC.
