Arsenal set to raise another £10million with sale of trio

Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh are set to become the latest two exits from Arsenal this summer as they close in on moves to AS Roma and Crystal Palace. Gervinho is expected to move for a fee in the region of £7million, whilst the figure for Chamakh’s transfer remains clouded, it is thought a fee in the region of £2million would be enough to convince Arsenal to sell permanently. Niklas Bendtner is also closing in on a move to Malaga, after a report in Spanish paper AS said a move was ‘hours’ from completion on Monday afternoon.

Bendtner’s wage demands has blocked moves to several clubs, including Malaga, but a compromise seems to have been found with Bendtner seemingly now ready to finalise a £2million transfer away from the Emirates.

Fresh Arsenal reported two months ago that Gervinho had been put available for transfer, but Arsenal were not trying to actively shift the player.

Fresh Arsenal report from June 9 reads: “Gervinho is a player that Wenger isn’t actively looking to sell, but if an offer comes in at equal or above the £8million he paid for the Ivorian, the Frenchman is unlikely to turn it down. Bendtner is a player who will definitely leave – a fee of around £3million would likely seal a deal. Johan Djourou is the third player, he looks all set for another loan move, with the player keen to stay in Germany.”
