Gabriel Jesus lands in Barcelona with Arsenal braced to recoup over £75million in transfer fees for three outgoings

ARSENAL are not famed for their selling expertise, but in the space of a day or so they are about to rake in around £75million. Gabriel Martinelli is undergoing a medical ahead of his £60m switch to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia while his compatriot, Gabriel Jesus, has made a shock £8.6m switch to Barcelona which could end up being worth more with add-ons.

Almost in the background, £34m flop Fabio Vieira has moved to Hamburg for £7.7m. Sign up for the Arsenal newsletter Thank you! Vieira spent last season on loan at Hamburg, making 29 Bundesliga appearances for the club, scoring seven goals. Arsenal have, though, taken a big loss on Jesus, 29. They spent £45m to prise him away from Manchester City four years ago. And, despite a blistering start to life at the Emirates, two ACL injuries severely hampered his time at the club. That meant he made just 14 appearances in the Premier League last season, mainly off the bench. The Brazilian has told the Spanish press his knees are now “perfect” ahead of his move to the Nou Camp, but there is no doubt those injuries influenced his transfer fee. Most read in Sport BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK Martinelli is where the Gunners have truly made some serious profit. The winger was 18-year-old when they signed him for just £6m. The left-sider will become Arsenal’s record sale, dwarfing the £35m fee Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain commanded from Liverpool an embarrassing nine years ago. Will Mikel Arteta enter the market and use these newly acquired funds? The money is there to do so though, that much is clear – even before these sales. Arsenal were prepared to spend big on Vinicius Jr, Morgan Rogers and still retain hope of splashing on Julian Alvarez this summer. However, the club has spent just shy of £200m on Bruno Guimaraes, Ezri Konsa, Christos Tzolis and making Piero Hincapie’s loan deal a permanent move. Arteta did make it clear after their Champions League final loss to PSG that he was looking for a game-changer in attack. Now that he has let two of his front-line bodies leave, does he have a trick up his sleeve before the deadline passes at 11pm, Tuesday September 1? Gunners fans will be hoping that man is Alvarez, but time is ticking. Comment now
