BBC
confirmed that the fee has been agreed between both the sides Arsenal and Villarreal
for the defender Gabriel Paulista.
Arsenal
posted:
“Transfer agreed in principle with
Arsenal for Gabriel, who will bid farewell before the game. Much luck!”
BBC
published that the principle deal of £15million has been agreed for the
24-year-old centre-back.
However,
the London side will now only have to solve the work permit issue before finalizing
the Brazilian move.
The
deal would include a loan move of Arsenal striker Joel Campbell. The Costa
Rican will be out for the rest of the season on loan with the La Liga club.
Villarreal
also confirmed the deal yesterday on Twitter before their game against Levante at
El Madrigal.
“Welcome @ joel-campbell12! Agreement
reached with Arsenal until the end of the season.”
Campbell was also linked
with a loan move this month, however Wenger denied earlier but now allowed him
to get some regular time.
The 22-year-old played a
great role for Costa Rica in the World Cup last summer. He helped them to reach
the quarter-finals.
