Arsenal fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are looking frustrated as Metro has explained how West Ham have agreed a £5million fee to sign Basel defender Fabian Schar.
The highly rated Swiss defender is considered as one the best upcoming centre backs as he is still only 23.
He has been destined to join one of the top four in the Premier League but as things stand he is likely to join the Hammers.
It will take the Gunners a lot to poke their nose into this business, as it is believed that talks are far down the line.
This will really be a kick in the teeth for Arsenal fans in the Tavern as it wasn’t long ago when Winston Reid signed a new deal at Upton Park.
A small group of Gooners sipping on pints here in the Transfer Tavern don’t get why they didn’t make a move for the highly-rated defender, and admit losing out to a fellow London rival makes it even harder!
