Arsenal’s new sporting director, Andrea Berta, has wasted little time in strengthening a squad which has finished runners-up in the league for the past three seasons.
Gabriel Magalhães and Myles Lewis-Skelly have also put pen to paper on new contracts in the off-season, with a long-term extension for teenager Ethan Nwaneri believed to be all but completed.
Elsewhere, Leeds have made Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri their seventh signing of the summer. The 27-year-old joins from Lyon in a deal worth a reported £15.6m.
“It is incredible. It is a dream come true,” he said. “When I first heard that the interest could get something serious and actually happen, I started to look for videos of the stadium, the atmosphere, the games, the highlights of the plays, and the matches.
“It was a really exciting moment for me. I was really, really glad that the club showed interest. It was incredible. To sign here, I am very, very happy.”
