When will Arsenal improve selling strategy after major Bernd Leno and Lucas Torreira losses

Yet again, it looks as though Arsenal will be making a significant loss in the transfer market regarding player sales. Bernd Leno has left the club and joined Fulham for a deal that sees the Gunners gain a shockingly small amount up front.

As reported by David Ornstein, Arsenal are set to gain just £3 million, with a further £5million in potential add-ons. Despite the bonuses being accessible, Leno was bought for more than seven times the upfront sale price just four years ago.

Arsenal have reportedly agreed to a £7.5m deal with Galatasaray for Lucas Torreira, according to the Evening Standard. Personal terms are yet to be agreed, but the Gunners would be looking to get around £5million upfront. Again, this is more than four times less than the price paid to sign the Uruguayan from Sampdoria just four years ago.
