Fiorentina strengthens for the next season
After failing negotiations with Arsenal and Benfica for Eboue and Luizao it looks like Gigliati have finally found a solution for their defensive problems.
Latest reports suggest that Fiorentina and Boca Juniors have reached an agreement over the transfer of Ezequiel Munoz.
The 18 year old defender is considered as one of the Argentine prospects and already compared with Ayala or Samuel.
Munoz transfer fee is believed to be around €6 millions but it could increase based on appearances and performances.
Fiorentina have lost Melo to Juventus this summer but they are investing the money in other players.
La Viola have already signed Marchionni and Zanetti from Juventus and Castillo from Lecce.
Also Fiorentina have not gave up on Eboue and they might have chances of signing him considering that the Ivorian was not part of the Arsenal squad against Celtic.
Fiorentina are close the second consecutive season in Champions League after drawing 2-2 in Lisbon.
Does Arsenal needs a replacement for Adebayor?
Only few days after selling Emmanuel Adebayor to Manchester City, Arsenal fans are already asking if they have a chance of winning a trophy this year.
Some of them even wonder if Arsenal can finish in top four. Despite all of this Wenger is confident and says that Arsenal will continue to do well. Wenger declared that big clubs have lost big players like Ronaldo, Kaka or Benzema but they will go on. Wenger is also known as a manager that does not like to spent lots of money on players.
The French manager declared that Arsenal does not need a replacement for Adebayor as they already have Eduardo, Van Persie, Walcott, Bendtner, Arshavin and Vela on that position but there are sources such as he would be interested in signing Martins from Newcastle.
The Magpies were relegated at the end of the season and they would be probably give up on their star players in order to reduce the wages. Martins would cost Arsenal around £7millions and would be a profitable transfer.
Other possible targets for Arsenal could be Huntelaar from Real Madrid and Gignac from Toulouse.
