He's probably only going to appear as a sub, so that's not really a danger. Napoli was in for him but they didn't want to match what he/his agent demanded I think.

It's not Arsenal, it's Dortmund 'holding' the deal up. They won't accept the bid until July 1 for accounting reasons.

[BexleyGooner]

They may want to capture the revenue of the sale when their new fiscal year starts (July 1).

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has revealed that Arsenal have yet to finalise a deal for Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

Zorc expects the Greek defender to move to the Emirates Stadium eventually, but talks have now dragged on for more than a month.

Arsenal's head of recruitment Sven Mislintat has worked with Sokratis in the past, and views the 30-year-old as a potentially valuable addition in north London.

A month ffs

Wenger lives on

[Sims]

It’s done just waiting for July as it’s dortmjnds new financial year or some shit

[Ach]

The Sporting Director knows nothing of that then

[Mike Dean]
