So it looks like Swansea center back Ashley Williams is set to be a Gooner!
Do we need another CB you ask?
Well if the reports that Thomas Vermaelen is on his way out then yes he's an awesome third choice (granted Le Prof doesn't break up the 'Mertercielny').
Then again, if it was up to me - we'd keep the 'out of favor' Belgian as he's obviously still a World class talent suffering a slight career slump.
In regards to our poor luck with injury's, it would make sense to have these four to rely on. Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Williams sounds pretty good doesn't it!
But if The Verminator does vie for first team football - then now is probably the most lucrative time for his departure.
The word on the street is that an agreement of around £10 million has been accepted after Arsenal started the bid at £8 mil. The Pre-contract negotiations are said to be be for three years at around £60 grand a week for the 28 year-old which us a significant jump from his reported £10 grand a week income.
Williams leads Europe (top 5 leagues) for total blocked shots for last season at a total of 53, the Welsh International will become an instant fan-favorite at Arsenal for one other reason than his impressive stats.
Here's why...
