Arsenal sold nine men, Polish goalkeeper Szczesny joined Juventus for a fee of £10.98 million, the 27-year-old Pole was no longer playing for the Gunners last season and his loss would have little impact on the club, Paulista joined Valencia for £9.9 million, and Gibbs joined West Bromwich Albion for £6.75 million.

Arsenal have also loaned out a number of players, including Toulouse's Sanogo, Deportivo La Coruna's Lucas Perez, Getafe's Martinez and Birmingham's Jenkinson. According to the statistics of "Transfer Market", the total value of Arsenal's departing players is 81 million pounds, while Arsenal received a transfer fee of 61.83 million pounds.

In such a situation, the Arsenal manager and club president Hillwood had such a conversation.

"Given the team's results right now, there has to be a move in the winter signings." Hillwood Road.

"Yes." Wenger said a little sadly, for the Arsenal in his hands, the current team's results also make Wenger extremely sad.

"Is there anything I need to do?" Hillwood asked.

"The team has to bring in a couple of replacements! We need a consistent scoring point the most. ”

"Do you have a candidate in mind?" Hillwood asked.

Arsene Wenger thought for a moment and said the name he had in mind, a name that shocked the club's chairman.

"That Jones in the newspapers, that super shooter of the new season!" Hillwood asked.

"That's right, it's the young man. I was amazed by the performance of this young man, a very good lad. When he said this, he remembered that more than half a year ago, when he just paid attention to this young man, he was still the Golden Boot winner of the reserve team, so immature, who would have thought that only half a year later, he was already the best scorer in England and even Europe! 11 games, 18 goals scored! What a horrible goal percentage.

Hillwood was silent for a moment, "Arsna, you really want to buy him!" Hillwood spoke, looking at the mild-mannered middle-aged man beside him.

"Yes, Peter, what I regret most now is not taking this player earlier, in fact, I started paying attention to this young man half a year ago."

"Half a year ago?" Hillwood asked, surprised.

'Yes, he was only part of Chelsea's development squad at the time, but now it's just going to be difficult, but we can try.' Arsene Wenger said with regret.

"Did you think that maybe his performances this season were just a flash in the pan?" Hillwood asked.

"When I brought in Thierry Henry, bought Bergkamp, bought Pires, a lot of people weren't optimistic about them. The professor smiled.

Hillwood pondered for a moment that Arsene Wenger was a man of great intelligence, not just a footballer, but also in many ways, including his eyesight, and that the young man he looked up to was almost synonymous with genius.

"Well, it's just that you know, it's hard for the club to spend too much money on a young guy and a lot of teams are eyeing him."

"I know that." Arsene Wenger nodded helplessly, Wenger and Arsenal have always been criticized for their reluctance to buy people, and the professor has always supported the team.

He always said: "I'm not afraid to spend money, if there is a player I like, I will not frown, there are good players." "Actually, the real reason is that Arsenal don't really have much money.

"It shouldn't be an outrageous price!" The professor calculated in his heart that although Jones is very popular, after all, it is only the first season of the top league, and the development of young people is very unstable, which may make some buyers hesitate, in this case, the value may not be too outrageous, but he himself is not so sure.

Jones didn't know about it, and he was driving to find Stella.

After the United game, Kodic also had time to think about a winter transfer, starting with Southampton, who finished eighth in the Premier League last season, and he took a fancy to the team's centre-back Jose Funte.

The 34-year-old has played for Crystal Palace and is a very useful player, the best age for defenders, and the player himself must be eager to go to a stronger team and, most importantly, not too expensive, belongs to the kind of player who can be brought in for money.

He is a central defender and is mainly responsible for guarding the opposition's forward centre-forward, but he can also be involved in the attack.

Guarding the forward center is his main task, and when he fails to make a tackle, the free central defender should quickly fill in for the free central defender when he goes up to intercept the opponent's breakthrough.

After grabbing the ball in the backcourt, you can pass the ball to your teammates to attack, or you can dribble the ball directly into the front line.

When necessary, he can move forward to the midfield to receive passes from his teammates, organize attacks, and strengthen the offensive strength of the midfield, which can be said to be a player who has both offense and defense.

Assistant coach Osilai and Kodic discussed in the office, Chelsea did not make a big move in this summer transfer market, but the results can be so good, Abu also saw that the team's attack is no problem, but there is a lack of defensive players, so Kodic has also been informed that he can buy a few defensive players in the winter transfer.

Of course, Chelsea's most cost-effective contract is Jones's contract, which did not cost a penny, and the chairman also gave Kodic a budget of 50 million euros, but Kodic didn't want to be too big, and this was his first time buying, so it was naturally a time to test his vision, and he had to do the most with the least money.

"I've got a guy here." Ossilai said suddenly.

"Who?" Cordic hurriedly asked.

"I remember you mentioned Robbie Brady who you admired more." Ossie said.

"You're talking about Norwich's left-back Robbie Brady." Kodic rubbed his temples and thought for a moment.

"That's right, it's him, we can also buy Schlupp and Sunderland's Van Aanholt from Leicester City, so we might not have to spend too much money to buy good defensive players." Ossie said.

Kodic fell into deep thought, he did intend to have major surgery at the back, Chelsea's current several backfield players, Kodic is not satisfied, the assistant coach's proposal, Kodic is also tempted.

"The value of the three of them should be more than 10 million, and the value of the three cannot exceed 40 million, if we buy these three people, the problem in the backfield will be much better." Osilai continued.

"Yes! The one you said can be used as a preparatory plan, after all, there is still more than 1 month to start the transfer, now look at something else, if not, buy these three! Kodic made an immediate decision.

The big teams will never sell the team's number one star and main defender all at once, but there is no player in the second-rate team that the team cannot sell, as long as the price is right, they can take the money and go to Eastern Europe, Africa, and South America to buy some high-quality and cheap players back.
