Overview

• Arsenal and Fulham are negotiating a double deal to bring Oleksandr Zinchenko and Reiss Nelson to Craven Cottage.
• Arsenal values Zinchenko at £15 million as he enters the last year of his contract with limited first-team minutes last season.
• Fulham and Arsenal are finalizing terms for Nelson’s return after his loan was prematurely ended by a hamstring injury in December.
• Combined sales could raise roughly £30 million in transfer fees and cut over £200,000 per week from Arsenal’s wage bill.
• The clubs’ cooperative history and Arsenal’s need to balance books ahead of further signings have accelerated the talks.
