Until today, Manchester City led the Premier League caravan of spenders with 108.75 million euros of investments, Tottenham could also boast with going over a hundred, but with officializing the transfer of Oleksandr Zinchenko worth around 35 million euros fixed (plus 2.5 million bonuses) – Arsenal got the label of the biggest spending club this summer… Not only in the Premier League but also in the top five European leagues.Bayern led with 117.5 million, but with the arrival of the Ukrainian defender – the London club took over with the sum of 132 million euros. And now the Gunners are a little short of breaking the personal record they set a year ago with 167 million euros invested in bringing new footballers. Arsenal mostly filled Manchester City’s coffers, since out of 132 million spent, a little over 87 million for Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko, went to the account of Citizens who earned the most this summer – as much as 160 million euros.💛🖤 Welcome, Alex 🖤💛— Arsenal (@Arsenal) July 22, 2022 Arsenal confirmed that it is a multi-year contract, but it has not yet been specified how many years the Ukrainian should spend in North London, where he came after 128 appearances for Manchester City. Certainly a signing to the taste of Mikel Arteta, who got to know him well a few years ago as Pep Guardiola’s assistant at the Etihad.”Alex is a player of great quality who will give us new options and a lot of variety. It’s not only about the positions he can play, about the possibilities both in attack and defense. Alex is a great person with human qualities and a strong character and we are extremely glad that the club made a serious effort to bring him,” said Arteta.##NAJAVA_MECA_6521286##Zinchenko arrived as Arsenal’s fifth signing, paid the same as Porto’s Fabio Vieira. Gabriel Jesus, Marquinhos and Matt Turner arrived earlier. The arrival of Zinchenko, otherwise the third most expensive defender in the history of the club (after Ben White and Shkodran Mustafi), along with the fact that Kieran Tierney is also present at left back, means that the exit door is open for Nuno Tavares, who is on Atalanta’s wishlist.
