adminLONDON. — Deal-fixer Richard Law has arrived at Arsenal’s London Colney HQ for a critical seven days. With just a week until the soccer transfer window closes, the North London club’s chief negotiator made his way to their Hertfordshire training base in preparation for what they hope will be a period of record-breaking spending. Law splits his time between the club’s London hub at Highbury House and London Colney.
But the American was in position at his training ground office on Monday to lead the club’s attempts to strengthen their squad with manager Arsene Wenger close by.
His presence provides a clear indication that Arsenal’s much-hyped summer of spending is finally about to take off. One of Law’s main objectives was to rubber-stamp a deal for Mathieu Flamini, who trained with the Arsenal squad on Monday.
Law held a meeting with the 29-year-old defensive midfielder and his agent at around 1pm, with a deal expected to be confirmed before the weekend. The club are still keen on Karim Benzema, Angel Di Maria and Mesut Ozil and have had encouragement from Real Madrid officials that the trio are available. — Maionline.
