Not necessarily. 

Would be excessive to have both, as we have backup for 10 in BCR or Alves. 

[EnderbyFox]

Wonder how many games he played with Mavididi in Arsenals youth teams? 

 

 

[AKCJ]

I think getting him on loan would be a good way to enable McAteer to get the loan he needs but we shouldn't be agreeing to an obligation to buy.

 

He's got 4 goals and 2 assists in 49 Premier League appearances.

Get Nketiah in too 

[DezFox]

I’d be happy with this, if not a silly obligation. 😀

49 appearances but only 1,321 minutes played which is around 14.6 90s

 

6 goals and assists in the equivalent of just under 15 games is decent

I had said i thought Cooper had ran out of former England U17's he can sign... but I was wrong

I like this a lot. Good player does this mean soule is off ? Mavididi must be seen as a 10 by cooper then ?

[FoxSince88]

He is class ! Should be all over it like a rash a bit like Morgan Gibbs white signing to work with cooper Elevated his game I can see this being beneficial for all parties

I don't think Soule has ever really been on.

This must be a Soule alternative surely?

yeah, but don't call me Shirley

[Blodge96]

I like this link a lot. He's looked good in the small amount of minutes under Arteta, great rotation on the wings and competition. Nelson, Mavididi, and Fatawu behind Vardy in a 4-2-3-1 sounds good to me

Only 1 start though

Maybe reason to move on to us 

[kingfox]

His time at Feyenoord is probably the best thing to go on, he played a mixture of right and left 👍🏻
 

At Arsenal and Hoffeinheim, despite plenty of substitute appearances, his versatility to come on and fill numerous positions is a standout. 
 

He’s a player that’s intrigued me on what he could produce if he went to another Premier League team, happy enough for us to be that platform for him.

Curious as to why this would be a loan with an obligation to buy. If it's £15m then we're essentially kicking £3m down the road a year. 

 

I know finances are tight but obligations are still a long term commitment. 

 

I can see us needing to utilise the loan market but options deals rather than obligations.

[StriderHiryu]

Nelson’s a decent player. Not good enough for a champions league team, maybe not even European places, but easily mid table with potential to grow. 

[st albans fox]

Presumably we would loan Ben out so we can save on kits ……

Wonder if the obligation is based on us staying up?

I imagine it is incase we get relegated, as I expect he would be on decent wages as well

Quite possibly, I think we've all been thrown by the reports we're offering £25m + for Soule and have bought Okoli for quite a large fee. The latter being a classic candidate for a loan with option / obligation that we instead bought outright.

[FoxinNotts]

anyone seen what the Arsenal fans are saying about this?

[Long Eaton Fox]

Ben and Reiss  could play a half each.

[Spudulike]

KDH replacement

He may see Nelson as a 10.
