Arsenal have reached an agreement in principle with Chelsea to sign forward Kai Havertz. Deal for 24yo Germany international is worth around £65m. Personal terms are already in place, attacker’s medical will follow in due course @TheAthleticFC #AFC #CFC

How many dud transfers have we seen over the last couple of years? None I can point out.

So, I'll give our guys the benefit of the doubt, and hope Havertz turns into a gunners legend!

@No1 @skybreaker sambi? But he was a young gamble, always going to be a few duds when recruiting from that age range

Fair call. I'd forgotten all about him. I guess we'd be looking to sell him unless he's had some huge jump in development.

The past couple of years is a very short time span, and conveniently cuts off the signing of Nicolas Pepe. From the past couple of years though, Vieira seems like he wasn't as successful as you'd hope for a €35m player. But, it's still early.
