Tonny Sanabría nuevo jugador del Arsenal firmaria la proxima semana por 4 temporadas

I've also heard the Mirror say it will be a 5 year contract.

Anyone has some scouting reports on him?

He only has 9 appearances for Barca B, doesn't play much. Find it interesting for such a big talent.

But cheap young strikers are always a good investment, nothing to lose.

Also know next to nothing about him but 9 appearances for a 17 year old is pretty solid and he was hardly going to get an outing for the first team was he?!

FYI: Arsenal have a better deal on the table with Barcelona for Sanabria than Roma. They []Roma] have gone as far as they can go

@AFCPresswatch 2h
The deal for Arsenal target Sanabria will not be finalised until probably the end of transfers window in January.

@AFCPresswatch 2h
One of the stumbling blocks is playing time. Sanabria may not be able to play in the Youth league as he has already play for Barca.

@AFCPresswatch 2h
Arsenal countering this by offering Sanabria the chance to go on loan if he so desired. Parma ready to negotiate loan deal with #arsenal

Marca saying Sanabria and his parents have made there minds and he'll join in January but we're refusing to pay them the €3 million termination clause. It also says according Calciomercato Roma still want him and are willing to pay Farca €2 million of his .

 

[Sydney Gooner]

Arsenal are losing their battle to sign Barcelona starlet Antonio Sanabria - with Roma closing in on a deal.

The Paraguayan teenager is wanted by Arsène Wenger, but now the Serie A club have moved in with an offer.

Sanabria can move if any club pays the £3.6 million release clause in his contract and Roma are prepared to meet that next month.

All this Sanabria stuff must be made up, I swear every day or two there is a new rumour saying he has chosen Arsenal/Roma...

 

[truth_hurts]

Actually not overly bothered by this transfer, regardless of what happens.

 

[ArseGod]

Agreed. I don't care at ll about this one. We need a striker in January who will help the team now.

 

[ArsenesNO1Fan]

I really want him. We're not buying a world class striker now because there aren't any so getting 1 of the best teen prospects around means we may have a world class striker in 3-4 years. I know everyone wants Costa but he's a level below the very best, I'm not saying Sanabria will be 1 of the best either.

 

[musicmonkey]

Not the most exciting transfer but these are the players that will spring up when we need them in a year or two so it's necessary to be picking them up.

Also this is stupid:

In the youth leagues seriously? The league is there for player development not as a form of competitive competition, why the hell would you have players effectively be cup tied?

Sanabria transfer will drag on, lets wait for something concrete

Verdu (agent Sanabria): "No final decision has been made, but Antonio at this moment prefers to go and play in England." [laroma24]

 

[a_fourteen]

Wenger is not going to let some 17 year old jerk him around. Same situation with Niang.

 

[ArsenesNO1Fan]

Sanabria has been left out of the Barce B squad so should be on his way

Spanish Gööner ‏@ElSpanishGooner 5h
D10Deportes also say Sanabria prefers to play for Arsenal. If he refuses Roma once again they won’t try to sign him anymore.

 

[Sydney Gooner]

Sport are reporting it as well.

Reports saying Sanabria has chosen Roma.

[GDeep™]

Yeah, I'm afraid this is all over as Gianluca Di Marzio is very reliable and accurate , and he's saying Sanabria us due in Italy soon.
