Arsenal ‘On Brink’ Of First Major Summer Signing

Arsenal are ‘on the brink’ of securing their first summer signing in the form of Toulouse right back Serge Aurier according to Goal.com (hmm). The report claims that a deal is close to being concluded and it is worth £7million.

Aurier told a fan last week he would join Arsenal:

Overall, Aurier is more of an attack-minded defender and his over-zeliouness can often lead to some sticky situations. He is often positionally caught out and has a tendency to play his opponent onside. He is also a bit petulant and picked up 9 yellow cards last year. Defensively, Aurier will need to improve drastically if he’s going to meet the standards set by the outgoing Sagna, but his attacking play is something to admire and he’ll provide a constant outlet for any Arsenal attack.

Ultimately, Aurier’s talent is visible for all to see. He’s supposedly an Arsenal fan and would be available for peanuts based on the current inflation in the world market at the moment. He is a great prospect and definitely has a bright future. Attack wise he is very strong, but defensively he is slightly susceptible. Overall I believe it would be a good addition to the squad but there is no guarantee he is ready for first-team football yet.
