Alexis Sanchez is expected to be announced as an Arsenal player today and his completed transfer should coincide with the Gunners lunching their kit for the 2014/15 season.

Arsenal and Puma started their long-term partnership on July 1st and at the time the club revealed several poignant dates.

On July 6th Arsenal Ladies become the first Arsenal team to wear the Puma kit in the FA WSL Continental Cup game against Chelsea.

July 10th kit lunch

The club also announced that the formal unveiling of the new Arsenal kit will take place on July 10th and Sanchez will be announced alongside the new jersey.

Any impending move for Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira has been put on hold, after the World Cup finalist informed the Gunners that he would expect to be the highest paid player at the club to join.

Jaw Dropping Demands

While The Metro claim that a bid of £24 million has been submitted by the Gunners and seen as adequate by the Spanish club, personal terms are seen as a potential stumbling block in any deal being completed.

With Arsenal set to announce the signings of Mathieu Debuchy and Alexis Sanchez later today, they are unlikely to want to spend high wages on another player in excess of what 25 Hour Sport claim could rise to £8 million a year.

Arsenal have been put on alert after the talented French midfielder Antoine Griezmann turned down a new contract at current club Real Sociedad.

The 23-year-old is contemplating his future with the La Liga club according to AS, the Daily Star report, and the news of his contract snub will alert Arsene Wenger and several other Premier League managers.

Griezmann’s contract runs until 2016 but Sociedad may not be temped to cash in on the playmaker after his decision to not renew his current deal.

Sanchez and Debuchy could be joined at the Emirates by another player soon and it is an international team mate of the right-back.

Debuchy’s fellow countryman Loic Remy is again on Wenger’s radar and that transfer is close according to various reports in today’s newspapers.

The Daily Mirror believe Arsenal want to add the Queens Park Rangers attacker to their forward line and that talks between the two clubs have taken place.

Personal terms the sticking point

Remy could move to the Emirates for £8 million and a deal is apparently close between the two clubs, though personal terms have not yet been agreed.

As we revealed yesterday, Mathieu Debuchy and Alexis Sanchez are on the verge of being announced as Arsenal players and our third summer signing could be around the corner too.

Gunners manager Arsene Wenger yesterday revealed to talkSPORT that he expected the Chile attacker to join the club and for his transfer to be confirmed today (Wednesday) with all the last minute details soon to be agreed.

The radio station report that Sanchez will sign a four-year contract at the Emirates and move for around £28 million.
