But they are willing to consider deals under the right conditions. Both of them have already in the radar of several clubs across Europe. Their talent, age, and development make them good investments in the transfer market.

The 100 million pound figure shows both their current ability and their potential. It also sends a clear message, that Arsenal will not sell them cheaply. At this stage, no deal is close. However, the situation is becoming one to watch as the transfer window approaches.

Moreover, it would give those young players an opportunity to play regularly somewhere else.

This way then can give themselves an opportunity to get their player back in case he shows all his talents.
