However Wenger has latched on and is slowing down the deal trying to knock down the price. Dortmund/Zorc getting annoyed. Deal should still go through but may take a while.
Deal was agreed at €60m. Wenger supposedly got involved and sensed he could get a better deal as Dortmund keen to offload Auba asap as proving a nuisance in the camp. Wenger has now dropped the previously agreed amount with €50m. Dortmund understandably getting annoyed.
Deal close to falling through. Murmurs Wenger is purposely trying to end this deal as doesn’t believe Auba is an improvement over Welceck or Giroud. Likewise prefers Iwobi to Miki but accepts he will be free with the Alexis deal.
Wenger main priority is to land Evans. Also interested in Nani as a possibility to replace Walcott.
